The CAC also acts as a community resource by helping to educate and inform residents about City of New Hope activities. The CAC may also initiate a study on any subject the group believes is important to city residents. CAC meetings are held on the third Monday of each month at 7 p.m. in New Hope City Hall. The commission consists of from five to 15 residents appointed by the City Council to two-year terms.
Commissioners serve on a voluntary basis without compensation.
