Commissions

Milpitas has a strong tradition of community participation. Help shape the future of your community through volunteer service on a commission. The 12 City Commissions advise the City Council on an array of topics and provide a public forum for community input. Applications are accepted on a continuing basis and appointments are made by the Mayor as needed throughout the year and confirmed by the City Council.
