Board and commission application deadline extended to June 20

The deadline for applying to serve on several North Liberty boards and commissions has been extended. Service on volunteer boards offers residents the chance to make a difference in many aspects of community development. On July 1, each year, new terms begin on several boards and commissions, and you are invited to take this opportunity to volunteer your time to serve on any one of the following. Applications are available at the City Administration building at 3 Quail Creek Circle or for download here and must be turned in by June 20, 2016.
