Service on Town boards and commissions is one of the principal
means by which citizens can participate in the conduct of local
government. Volunteers may serve in a variety of capacities and are
encouraged to look for opportunities which will allow them to share
their experience, skills and talents, while offering a meaningful and
rewarding experience for the volunteer.
One of Town
Council’s most important responsibilities is that of appointing citizens
to serve on boards and commissions. Boards and commissions exercise a
number of advisory, administrative and quasi-judicial powers and
functions that are essential to the operation of town government.
Boards and commissions are created and enabled in different ways. Some
are required by the State of South Carolina and some are created by Town
Council. Terms of office and qualifications for office vary as well.
Most terms, however, begin and expire at the end of the year.
Members must be appointed by the Town Council to the following
volunteer boards and commissions: Planning Commission, Board of Zoning
Appeals, Construction Board of Appeals, Architectural Review Board,
Economic Development Board, Gallery 120 Board and Clover Housing
Authority Board.
