The City is seeking to fill four current vacancies on its Cultural Arts Commission.

The CAC is a volunteer board made up of seven members appointed by the Mayor and City Council to serve two-year terms.  Board Members should demonstrate a civic interest and general knowledge of the City, and be prepared to attend meetings and special events. Two of the vacancies will be filled with residents who live inside the Recreation District and/or own a business in Goose Creek. The remaining members must reside within City limits. The mission of the CAC is to identify, present and sustain cultural arts initiatives to enrich the lives of Goose Creek residents and visitors. The CAC meets on the second Monday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Goose Creek Community Center, 519A North Goose Creek Blvd. Members also volunteer at special events and festivals sponsored by the Goose Creek Recreation Department during the year. 

The City is seeking to fill one current vacancy on its Planning Commission. 

The city's Planning Commission is responsible for determining many of the land use processes. The Commission is tasked with identifying the needs of the city, establishing both short and long terms goals for the development of the city, and then writing and updating the city's Comprehensive Plan and recommending zoning ordinances which support those plans. In addition, it is the Planning Commission which approves street names, and hears requests for property rezoning. All meetings are open to the public. The Commission meets at 6:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month at City Hall.
