Applications are accepted through Sunday, June 2. Purposes and roles of the Noise Review Board The Noise Review Board is unique in the United States in offering residents and the business community opportunities to help set the City of Portland's policies related to the environmental issue of noise pollution. The Noise Review Board works to improve neighborhood livability by balancing sound-generating activities related to construction and special events and the desire for livable communities. The board reviews applications for noise variances for events and construction that may impact many people or take place over a significant period of time. It also addresses emerging noise problems in the community. As part of the board, you will also be responsible for working with the Noise Program to advise and make recommendations to the Portland City Council on sound-related code and policy decisions. Please share this information with anyone you know who might be interested in serving as a volunteer board member and supporting our work. To Qualify To be eligible to serve on the Noise Review Board, members must live, play, worship, work, or do business in the City of Portland.

The City of Portland is recruiting for two positions: one for a community member-at-large and one for a construction industry representative. For the construction industry representative position, the selected member will contribute knowledge and experience in construction activities and infrastructure work, including, but not limited to, renovations, concrete pour, nighttime construction work, and more.
