Boards and Commissions
One thing that makes Avondale Estates special is the involvement of volunteers in the government. The city’s appointed boards, commissions and authorities assist the Board of Mayor and Commissioners (BOMC) by serving in advisory capacities and overseeing various functions or projects. Membership length varies by board usually with overlapping terms of two to five years. Applicants are interviewed in a public work session and then voted on by the BOMC at the following regular meeting. Terms begin January 1 of the following year.
