Committee
The Committee
The BBC is comprised of eleven volunteer members appointed by the City Commission. BBC members come from diverse backgrounds and include a cross section of community leaders and residents. BBC projects are planned and implemented at the BBC’s monthly meetings. New members receive training in the form of an information packet that includes the BBC Mission Statement, planning criteria, current budget, project list and subcommittees. Several extensive planning meetings are held annually to update the mission statement and yearly budget.
