§ 2.08.150. Term and Term Limits.

A.

The term of appointment to a Charter commission is as established by the Charter.

B.

Members of boards or commissions not established by the Charter shall serve for a term of four (4) years, unless otherwise specified in this Chapter.

D.

Except as otherwise specified in this Chapter, a member may be appointed to serve a term of less than four (4) years or a term of less than the number of years established by this Chapter for the particular board or commission if the Council determines that it is in the best interest of the board or commission that a member serve a shorter term in order to provide for appropriate staggered terms to preserve a continuity of membership on the board or commission.

E.

Except as otherwise specified in this Chapter, if a member has been appointed to serve a term of less than two (2) years, the member may be reappointed to serve on the same board or commission for up to two (2) consecutive additional terms.

F.

Notwithstanding Subsections A. through E. above, a member may be appointed to serve a third consecutive term with a length of one (1) to four (4) years, in the discretion of the City Council, if the City Council finds that reappointment of such member to a commission would be necessary to:

1.

Maintain a functioning quorum on the commission; or

2.

Maintain commissioners with one (1) or more years of experience or a required background on the commission; or

3.

Establish or reestablish staggered terms to preserve a continuity of membership on the board or commission.
