Serving on a board, commission or committee is one way Richland citizens can volunteer and get involved with their city government. The Richland City Council appoints qualified individuals with diverse viewpoints and expertise to serve on its boards, commissions, and committees. Members provide support and assistance to councilmembers in their governance and decision-making processes. 

Richland's various boards, commissions and committees serve the City in numerous different ways, to include rendering advice to City Council, deciding appeals or civil violations, reviewing and making recommendations on land use and other related regulations, and taking public testimony on the City's behalf. Most appointments to the City's boards, commissions and committees are made by the Richland City Council.

Most boards, commissions and committees have a liaison appointed from the council who shall serve consistent with RMC 2.04.125(A).

The Richland Municipal Code (RMC) also provides information related to the boards, commissions, and committees under section 2.04.110.

Pursuant to RMC 2.04.120, the procedure for filling vacancies on boards, commissions and committees is available here.
