Current Commission Vacancies
Vacancies are established when terms expire or when an incumbent leaves the position prior to term expiration. Incumbents may re-apply when their terms expire. Vacancies have or will occur on the following commissions and committees:
Civic Action Commission
The Civic Action Commission creates events that bring the community together, including Community Service Day (the city-wide cleanup day involving hundreds of volunteers) and Summer Concerts by the Lake at City Hall. If you are a Pleasant Hill resident, a non-resident business person with a business in Pleasant Hill, or live outside City limits but within the City’s sphere of influence, you may qualify to be an applicant. Commissioners are very hands-on at events, and the City seeks candidates who enjoy assisting with the many planning and logistical tasks required. Meetings are held on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. One vacancy: an unfilled term through February 2026. Open until filled.
