City Commissions and Committees are the foundation of our community. They are how the community navigates the daily and weekly decisions that make Chowchilla run smoothly to become the kind of community we all desire. Your Mayor and City Council members encourage residents to become involved.

These are voluntary positions for eligible citizens. To be eligible, a citizen must reside in the city limits of Chowchilla, sometimes in the County area, and be a registered voter. The terms of office are four years and members may serve as many as two consecutive terms. For more information, view the "How to Serve on City of Chowchilla Boards and Commissions" brochure. 

Serving requires a commitment that is not to be taken lightly. As noted in the City's Municipal Code, absences from regular meetings during any calendar year without the formal consent of the board may be reason for declaring a position as vacant.

Refer to the Chowchilla Municipal Code Chapter 2, Sections 24-27 for information on all the City's Commissions and Committees.
