Boards & Commissions
The City of Berkley is successful because of the tremendous support from residents who voluntarily serve on various city boards and commissions. Board and commission members support city operations by supporting department initiatives, advising city officials on important matters, and serving as ambassadors in their respective neighborhoods.

-
Most boards and commissions work with specific departments as described in the City Charter.
-
To be considered, potential applicants must submit a completed Board & Commission application to the City Manager’s Office.
