Current Events and Updates:
Annual Reports
Board and Commission chairs submit annual reports to City Council each year in January. These reports allow boards to report on the work they have done in the past year, outline their goals for the upcoming year, and ensure that their work aligns with City Council’s strategic priorities.
Take a moment to review the compiled list of all Boards and Commission's annual reports and the recommendations made to City Council.
Nominate neighborhood volunteers for the new monthly Volunteer Spotlight program!
The Neighborhood Advisory Committee is excited to announce the initiation of a monthly Volunteer Spotlight program, aiming to honor the exceptional individuals who make significant contributions to their local community. Nominations for outstanding neighborhood volunteers will be accepted on a rolling basis. Each month, one volunteer will be selected for recognition in the Neighborhood Newsletter and various media outlets. If an individual is not recognized in the month of their initial nomination, their nomination will be carried forward for consideration in subsequent months.
Report an Issue Form
The "Report an Issue Form" is now available on every Board, Commission, and Council Committee landing page. Developed in collaboration with Code with Asheville, this form serves as a dedicated platform for community members to report any challenges encountered while accessing or participating in City public meetings.
On each Committee page, you will find the following prompt:
Have an issue with participating in a board or commission meeting, in person or virtually? Use this form to let us know!
If a community member experiences an issue accessing or participating in a public board meeting, they can complete the Report an Issue Form on the City's webpage(s). Communication and Public Engagement (CAPE) will promptly receive a notification and investigate the reported issue. Updates and responses to the concern will be shared on the dynamic spreadsheet that is accessible through the form. Please note that the form exclusively pertains to public board meetings managed by the City of Asheville and does not encompass subcommittees, engagement events, and/or ad hoc meetings at this time. Your feedback is invaluable in enhancing the accessibility and inclusivity of our public meetings.
