Council has established several Committees, Commissions, Boards and Authorities to help conduct a large amount of City business.  These bodies are established in accordance with the Municipal Government Act, and can be categorized as follows:
 

Legislated 
These are committees that exist due to legislative requirements.  Although each of these committees is established by municipal by-law (or resolution) there are other statutory requirements that must be taken into consideration.  Within the City of Camrose, these include: the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board, Assessment Review Board, Camrose Police Commission and Camrose Library Board.

Advisory Standing Committees
These committees are created by Council to provide advice or guidance on specific municipal initiatives.  The City of Camrose has established several advisory standing committees including the Green Action Committee, Camrose Airport Commission, the Social Planning Advisory Committee and the Affordable Housing Committee. 

Ad Hoc Committees
Ad Hoc committees serve a specific purpose for a predetermined length of time, or for the duration of a project.  Once the task is complete, an ad hoc committee will disband.  An example of an ad hoc committee is the Community Transportation Advisory Committee.

External Community Committees 
Not a municipal committee, Council will appoint City representatives to serve on external committees throughout the community.  An example of an external committee is the Tourism Committee. 

The Committees, Commissions, Boards and Authorities of the City are:

Volunteering 
There are a number of ways for Camrose residents to get involved in shaping their community.  Volunteering to serve is a great way to be actively involved in local government and to represent your community and requires a variety of time commitments. 

Meetings are held monthly or as required and the meeting dates/times are dependent on the  requirements. Typically Members at Large are appointed for terms of up to three years.
