Handbook

Welcome!

Because your appointment to a City of Keego Harbor Board or Commission* requires no prior experience in public service, this Handbook was designed to help you navigate your position. This Handbook and supplementary material will provide you with useful guidance across various aspects of your role and will better assist you in performing your functions.

​Regardless of the specific duties, each Commission plays an important part in City government. Appointees to Commissions perform a public service to their community and have both an obligation and an opportunity to provide wise input that will help shape their government. This requires a thorough understanding of their Commission's role as well as a willingness to engage constructively with the public, City Council, and City staff.

We know this handbook and additional information on this page will provide useful guidance. 

* Note: For simplicity, boards and commissions will be referred to as “commissions.” Board and commission members will be referred to as “commissioners.”
