City Boards & Committees
The Watertown City Council has a variety of boards, commissions, and committees to assist the City in the information gathering and deliberative process. Boards and Commissions are vital to the operation of the City and ensure public involvement in the governmental process. Several boards are also delegated with decision-making authority. The public is strongly encouraged to attend and participate in these meetings, or serve as a board member or commissioner. It is the duty of each boards membership to provide feedback and direction to City Departments or the City Council on a variety of issues.
