COUNCIL APPOINTED CITY OF NORCROSS BOARDS

Board Members serve by appointment by Mayor and Council. Each City Board or Commission elects its own chairperson. All Boards have some liaison or chain of command to the Council. Some Boards require special expenditures for consulting or start up. Policy is that all board members are paid a nominal fee for researching issues, attending the hearing or meeting each month, and making a decision. If a column/row is blank, we need to research more. If important, contact information available in City of Norcross website or call City Hall.
