Advisory Boards

The Town of River Bend has several Advisory Boards listed below that assist the Town in its operation. The Boards are comprised of town citizens. Members of the Advisory Boards are appointed by the Town Council and most serve a two year term. These Boards meet regularly to discuss Town policies, planning and other relevant matters. Advisory Boards present their recommendations to the Town Council for further discussion and action. The rules that govern their operation can be found in Section 3.05 of the Town’s Code of Ordinances.  If you are interested in serving on any of the Town’s Advisory Boards, you should complete and submit an application  to the Town Clerk. Your application will be considered if a vacancy occurs. We retain applications for one year after they have been submitted.
