The City of Dunn Boards and Commissions provide a way that its residents can participate in the governments of their City. The City Council regulates, sets terms of offices and establishes the duties for certain Boards and Commissions.

Members are appointed by the majority of the City Council. This allows interested citizens to submit their names and qualifications for consideration.

If you are interested in being considered for membership on a board or commission, please use the links provided to complete an advisory board application (see downloadable forms) and submit it to the City Clerk. Length of service varies with the particular Board or Commission. Consult the City Clerk regarding length of term on a specific Board or Commission.
