About Sausalito's Boards and Commissions

  • The government of the City of Sausalito functions more efficiently and effectively thanks to nine standing boards and commissions staffed by citizen volunteers. Each board and commission has specific duties, as specified in the City of Sausalito Municipal Code or in the specific Resolution that established the body.
  • Board members and commissioners are appointed or confirmed by the City Council.   
  • In addition to the City's standing boards and commissions, Sausalito government also relies on City Council Special Committees and Task Forces.
