* Code reviser’s note: Ordinance 1482 adds the provisions of this chapter as Chapter 2.30. The chapter has been editorially renumbered to prevent duplication of numbering.
2.32.010 Terms of service.
While various boards and commissions may have different terms of service, all board and commission members shall, in writing, submit a request to the Mayor at least 30 days prior to the end of their term to be considered for reappointment to another term. Failing this, the member shall be considered to have resigned from the board or commission and the City shall seek a replacement member. (Ord. 2167 § 1, 2021; Ord. 1482 § 1, 2008)
2.32.020 Removal.
Members of any board or commission may be removed for cause if approved by a majority vote of the City Council. For cause may include demonstrable professional incompetence, neglect of duty, insubordination, use of authority to exploit others, or conviction of a felony or other offense that falls below minimum standards of professional integrity. (Ord. 2167 § 1, 2021; Ord. 1482 § 1, 2008)
2.32.030 Term limits.
A. All boards, committees, and commissions shall hold elections for chair and vice-chair at the first meeting of each year; such positions shall be for a one-year term.
B. An individual may serve as chair or vice-chair for no more than two consecutive one-year terms.
C. Nothing shall disqualify an individual from serving as chair or vice-chair for additional term(s) after vacating the position for at least one year.
D. These rules shall take effect beginning May 1, 2021, and those persons serving in these roles shall have the same opportunity to serve for one additional one-year term as any other board, committee, or commission member.
E. Should all other members decline to serve as chair or vice-chair, including the vice-chair declining to serve as chair, an exemption shall be granted to allow additional one-year terms; however, this shall not eliminate the need for elections each year. (Ord. 2167 § 1, 2021)
