BOARD AND COMMISSION
APPLICATION PROCESS
Thank you for your interest in applying for a City of Midland board or commission.
The process to apply for a board or commission position is as follows:
1. Complete the application specific to the board or commission of your choice. Applications can be filled out
online via the City of Midland website (www.cityofmidlandmi.gov/boardscommissions), or they may be requested
in person at the City Manager’s Office, by phone at 837-3301, or by e-mailing the City at cityhall@midland-mi.org.
Each board and commission has its own application.
2. Once the application has been completed, please return it by mail or in person to: City Manager’s Office, 333
W. Ellsworth St., Midland, MI 48640-5132 or fax: 989-837-5727.
The Midland City Council will review the entire application and any attachments, such as resumes, that
accompany the application.
Unless otherwise noted, all information included on or attached to the application will become a
matter of public record and will be viewable on the City of Midland website as an informational item
attached to City Council agendas. If you would like one or more pieces of information – such as a
home phone number – removed from the application and/or any accompanying attachments you
provide for Council’s consideration, please indicate that on the last page of this application form,
and those items will be removed before the information is posted on the website.
3. Typically, a two-person panel from the City Council will schedule a time to interview all qualified candidates
applying for a particular board or commission. A representative from the City Manager’s Office will contact
qualified applicants to schedule an interview time. Appointments are generally made at the first City Council
meeting following interviews.
4. If appointed to a board or commission, a City of Midland staff liaison will contact you regarding meeting dates
and times and other information you’ll need to know to help you in your new role as a board or commission
member.
