Boards, Commissions, and Focus Groups

The City of Odessa has a number of advisory boards and commissions comprised of volunteers from the community who serve without compensation. Generally, these commissions make recommendations to the Mayor and Aldermen regarding actions and policies affecting municipal government, city departments, and the community.
