Items not allowed on right-of-ways: ordinance in effect!!!

Ballard City would like to remind residents that City Ordinance 10.12.020 – Items Not Allowed in Right-of-Way has been in effect since July 19, 2016. While this ordinance has been in place for several years, the City will begin consistent enforcement of its provisions effective August 1, 2026.

Boards, Committees, and Commissions

Some local governments, like Ballard City, have boards, committees, and commissions. Boards, committees, and commissions are advisory groups that study specific, assigned policy areas and report to the City Council about the work they do when they meet together. This helps the City Council deliberate on common municipal issues that affect the city. We are always looking for people to apply to serve on these boards and commissions. 

Requirements

The following applies to most advisory boards/commissions: you must be a Ballard City resident.

Terms of appointment

Most members serve for a term of four years, with a maximum of three full terms and until their respective successors are appointed and qualified.  The terms run concurrent with the term of the appointing City Councilmember.
