The City of North Augusta has five boards and commissions comprised of community volunteers appointed by the City Council. The job of board and commission members is crucial to the success of North Augusta and its government. By sharing experience, expertise and time, these citizens provide valuable insight in the operations of the city. Boards and commissions review new and existing operations in specific areas and suggest appropriate courses of action to city management and the City Council.
