City of Bloomington Seeks Residents to Serve on Boards and Commissions

The City of Bloomington is inviting residents to fill vacancies on various boards and commissions, which are essential for local governance and community engagement. Among the positions available is the Board of Public Safety, responsible for overseeing the city's police and fire departments, and the CDBG Funding Citizens Advisory Committee, which reviews community development grants. The city also seeks candidates for commissions addressing critical issues such as sustainability, the status of Black males, and the well-being of women and children. These roles enable community members to influence policies that directly affect their neighborhoods and enhance quality of life. The city underscores the importance of citizen participation in decision-making processes, aiming to reflect the diverse needs of its population.

Interested applicants can contact city officials, including Jennifer Crossley and Desiree DeMolina, for further information on how to get involved.
