About Boards & Commissions in the City of Stamford

The purpose of the Boards, Commissions and Authorities is to research and formulate policy related to the operation of the various units of the municipal government and the agencies which work in collaboration with the City and receive City money for their operations.

Various Boards and Commissions are described within the City Charter. Other agencies exist that also guide policy for the operation of Stamford's government and its various departments and affiliates.

Appointment to Boards & Commissions

The Mayor submits to the Board of Representatives nominations of members to each appointive Board, Commission or other similar appointive position, to fill each vacancy where a term of office has expired. The Mayor also submits to the Board of Representatives nominations of alternate members of the Planning Board, the Zoning Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals to fill any vacancies on a "panel of alternates" where an alternate member's term of office has expired. No nomination made by the Mayor is effective until approved by the Board of Representatives.
