REHOBOTH BEACH — The City of Rehoboth Beach is now accepting applications from residents interested in serving on the city’s boards, commissions or committees.

Applications are accepted year-round, though applications are due by Sept. 22 for consideration of appointment this fall.

The mayor and commissioners will make appointments for select boards and committees with vacancies in the coming months, and applications for boards and committees without openings will be kept on file for opportunities that arise throughout the year.

Rehoboth residents can apply online at cityofrehoboth.com/committee-application, where membership criteria and meeting information will also be available. Some committees are open to area residents living outside of the city of Rehoboth Beach limits.

“Those who serve on our commissions, boards, committees and task forces make a real difference in the community,” said Rehoboth Mayor Stan Mills. “Our appointed committees do important work, and the commissioners and I rely on these groups to assist in addressing issues that arise.”

Rehoboth’s Board of Adjustment, Board of Elections, Parks and Shade Tree Commission, and Planning Commission are regulatory bodies with powers outlined in the city’s code.

Appointment to these boards and commissions is for a three-year term, while appointments to committees, which serve in an advisory capacity to the Board of Commissioners, are typically for one year.
