Thanks to applicants for Lakeland Boards and Commissions!

The Mayor and Commissioners appreciate the strong interest demonstrated by Lakeland residents in applying for positions up for appointment on the Lakeland Boards and Commissions.

Making the appointments was very difficult due to the high quality and the number of applications for the positions up for appointment/reappointment. It was even more difficult because many of the persons currently serving are doing an outstanding job and applied to continue on the Board or Commission they are currently serving on.

The City received over twenty-two applications for the eleven positions that were open for reappointment or appointment.

The Mayor and Commissioners urge all persons not appointed to continue to apply as positions become open. All positions are advertised prior to an appointment to the opening and the Board of Commissioners is pleased at the interest demonstrated by Lakeland residents.

Please do not be discouraged if you were not appointed. The City needs interested and motivated residents to serve on the Boards and Commissions!
