Boards & Committees

The City of Auburn has several boards, committees and sub-committees, which are staffed by resident volunteers, city officials and various employees.

Municipal boards, committees, and working groups play a vital role in shaping the future of our community. These volunteer-driven bodies provide residents with meaningful opportunities to engage directly in local government, offering insight, expertise, and diverse perspectives that strengthen decision-making. By advising elected officials, researching key issues, and supporting city initiatives, these groups help ensure that policies and projects reflect the needs and values of our residents. Their work fosters transparency, collaboration, and civic pride—core principles that make our city stronger and more responsive to everyone it serves.

Auburn has three kinds of municipal committees:

City Committees

Ad Hoc/Short-term Committees & Working Groups
