COUNCIL PILLAR
Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency
BACKGROUND
Board, Commission and Committee members are generally appointed to a four-year term (full term) and may serve a maximum of two consecutive full terms. In the case where an existing member is eligible for another term, past City practice has been for staff to contact those existing members and inquire if the there is an interest to be considered for re-appointment to serve another term. The Council then takes formal action to reappoint those existing members who indicate an interest to serve a second term. If an individual is appointed to fill a partial term, he or she may serve an additional two full terms. Full terms are effective July 1st of the appointing year and expire on June 30th of the fourth year.
