The most effective way for citizens to become involved directly in governmental programs is to serve on a citizen board or committee. Citizen boards are not legislative bodies; the extent of their authority and power depends on state statutes and/or city ordinances or resolutions.

The role of a citizen board member is important in the total picture of the city while providing citizens an opportunity to make a difference in the community. Citizen boards seek to solve problems, not merely address results. Service on a board takes effort, imagination, courage, innovation, and patience. The following boards are appointed by the Mayor and/or City Council to assist the them in their decision making process. Agenda meeting notices for each board or committee are posted on their individual web page.

For more information about our committees and boards, contact Jeana Bellinger, City Secretary, at Brenham City Hall, 200 W. Vulcan, Brenham, TX 77833; 979-337-7567 or email jbellinger@cityofbrenham.org.
