Citizens Advisory Committee: The Citizen Advisory Committee was appointed by Town Council in April 2015 and consists of eight members.
Members meet on a monthly basis to discuss issues that are important to the Town.
Although the committee meets without Council, their purpose is to be an an extension of Council with improved communication being the goal. The committee speaks and listens to residents who do not normally attend Council meetings and gathers information, both positive and negative, that would be helpful to Council–issues that Council needs to be aware of to improve and enhance the Town and quality of life of its citizens.
Members of the Citizen Advisory Committee need to be good listeners, keep an open mind, be alert to issues, problems, needs, encourage discussion, rely on personal experience, disregard hearsay or rumors, and be committed to improving the Town of Clifton Forge.
Citizen Advisory Committee meetings are open to the public.
