Public Infrastructure Advisory Board

Combined Advisory Board Focuses on Public Infrastructure

On December 4, 2023, the City Council approved merging the Parks Advisory Board and the Public Works Advisory Board into a single entity known as the Public Infrastructure Advisory Board (PIAB). This nine-member Board, appointed by the Mayor and Council, serves three-year terms with a maximum of two consecutive terms.

Advising for Progress

The Board serves as a vital resource for the Mayor and City Council, offering guidance on various public infrastructure and development matters.  These encompass:

• Street construction
• Water, sewer, and storm drain system construction and maintenance
• Park planning
• Site and building design
• Program Prioritization

Additionally, the Board may provide input on:

• Utility rate analysis
• Operational and capital improvement budget recommendations
• Identifying potential park additions
• Developing park regulations

Connecting with the Community

The Public Infrastructure Advisory Board fosters community engagement by promoting volunteer opportunities for park development and beautification.

Scope of Expertise

While the Board offers comprehensive guidance, it remains crucial to note that:

• Its role excludes the practice of engineering, as defined by state law.
• The development of project specification remains subject to approval by a registered professional engineer.

Meeting and Location

The PIAB convenes at 6:30 pm on the third Tuesday of each month, at 1300 S Kodiak Circle.
