Brentwood is seeking residents to serve on three city commissions, with several positions available on panels that advise the City Council on arts, parks and recreation, and planning matters.

In a statement Friday, city officials said they are accepting applications for positions on the Arts, Park and Recreation, and Planning commissions. Applicants must live within Brentwood city limits.

The application deadline at 5 p.m. on Dec. 21 of this year.

The Arts Commission has three openings: two terms ending Dec. 31 of this year, and one vacancy for the remainder of a term ending Dec. 31, 2027.

The five-member commission advises the City Council on arts and cultural matters. Members are expected to have knowledge of the arts and represent a range of fields, including music, dance, literature, photography, painting, architecture and performing arts.

The Park and Recreation Commission has two openings, with terms ending Dec. 31 of this year. The five-member commission advises the city on the design and use of parks and recreation facilities, as well as rules and policies for programs and facilities. It meets on the fourth Thursday of each month.

The Planning Commission has three openings, with terms ending also on Dec. 31. Its responsibilities include recommending changes to the city’s General Plan, zoning rules and development agreements. It also makes decisions on design reviews, residential subdivisions and conditional use permits. The commission meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month.

Applications are available at Brentwood City Hall, located at 150 City Park Way. Residents may also apply online or request an application by calling 925-516-5440.

The City Council will review applications and select new members following an interview process at a publicly noticed meeting, according to officials.
