Boards & Commissions

Appointment to commissions, boards, and other citizen committees is often helpful in resolving the complex issues facing municipalities such as Grosse Pointe Park and is an important means of encouraging citizen participation. The purpose of these groups is to sift and analyze data and then make recommendations unless they have authority to vote under the City Charter or State Law. The board members should know exactly what they are responsible for, what their authority is, and what they are supposed to accomplish. Both board members/commissioners should keep in mind that citizen boards are advisory in nature, and that the ultimate decision making authority rests with the council.
