Summary
DATE: December 6, 2022
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Holli Clements, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Appointing Citizen Members to Various Boards and Commissions
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The Mayor and City Council make annual appointments to the various boards, commissions, and committees each year and throughout the year as vacancies occur.
Section 2-118 of the Code of Ordinances states that persons appointed to city boards, commissions or committees can be effective members only if they attend the group’s meetings regularly. In case of excessive absences, a board, commission, or committee member can be removed from office. Missing three (3) consecutive meetings or more than twenty-five (25) percent of meetings in a twelve-month period where the board meets more than four times per year shall constitute excessive absences. The city manager has been notified by the chairperson the Senior Citizen Advisory Board that a member has missed more than three (3) consecutive meetings as defined by the code. The member with the attendance infractions is identified in the chart below in the status column as “Attendance.”
At the September 13, 2022 Regular City Council Meeting, four members of the Animal Advisory Committee resigned. The members who have resigned are identified in the chart below in the status column as “Resigned.”
In the past couple of months, a newly appointed board/commission member of the Recreation Services Advisory Board has resigned from their seat due to a meeting time conflict. The member who has resigned is identified in the chart below in the status column as “Resigned.”
The Planning and Zoning representative on the Board of Adjustment-Zoning had an expired term and was not reappointed. The Planning and Zoning Commission has selected a new representative for appointment.
In order to declare vacancies and make appointments to fill the unexpired terms of the vacancies, City Council action is required.
