The Recreation Advisory Commission serves as an advisory board on issues pertaining to the operation of the Recreation Department. One member is appointed by the council from each of the city's six wards, and three members-at-large are nominated by the mayor and appointed by the council. To contact your Ward’s RAC member, e-mail the Recreation Department at the email link below. Please state the recipient’s name in the subject line, and your inquiry will be forwarded.
