The City Council will accept prepared questions from the advisory boards to use during the interview process if provided by the appropriate board. The chair or designee of each commission will attend the interview session and should provide input to the City Council. The chair or designee will not have a vote in the process. The City Council will not impose term limits. However, they will make appointments or re -appointments through an open or community wide process. When a term ends every commissioner seeking re- appointment will re -apply and possibly interview again with the City Council and any other candidates (if there are others). The Council will then have 3 options: re -appoint the existing commissioner, appoint a new person to a new term or leave the position open to fill at a later date. The City Council will establish a contact with each advisory board or commission. The Council will make the appointments among themselves at a city council meeting (generally, the first or second meeting of the year). The term of the contact appointment will be for one year or another mutually agreed upon timeframe. The City Council may remove any commissioner from their board for un -ethical behavior or other misconduct. Excessive absences from meetings during a year will result in an automatic resignation Each commission will have the chair or other member attend city council meetings to present reports on topics/actions taken at commission meetings. This is currently done by CDRB and PC and will now be extended to other commissions. Adopted May.04 0
