Brooklyn Center is seeking community members to serve on the Cultural and Public Arts Commission and the Sister Cities Commission.
Cultural and Public Arts commissioners get to advise the city on beautification and public art initiatives. The Commission guides planning and decision-making to “promote civic pride, diversity, equity, and inclusion through public art.”
Its commissioners serve a three-year term and it includes a chairperson and six members.
The Sister Cities Commission reviews applications for sister city affiliations and forward their recommendations to the City Council for the establishment of future Sister City agreements.
The City of Voinjama in Liberia is a sister city to Brooklyn Center, a relationship that was formally established by the two cities in 2012, six years before the city elected its first Black and Liberian-born mayor.
The Sister Cities Commission comprises five members, including the chairperson. Commissioners serve a five-year term.
After applications for both commissions are received the mayor will make recommendations to the city council for approval by a majority vote.
