§ 2.56.03. Appointments.

A.

All appointments shall be made according to the city ordinances that created that commission, committee, board, or other authority. They shall be nominated by the mayor. Upon nomination, the mayor shall forward a copy of the names and resumes of those selected for appointment to the city council, no later than seven days before the council meeting at which the mayor will present the candidate(s) for confirmation.

B.

Appointment to all commissions shall be made by the statute and city ordinance that establishes or creates them. Appointments will be made fairly and, to the extent mathematically possible, equally by wards.

C.

Appointment to committees, boards, or authorities shall be determined by the mayor and the city council according to the number of members required to successfully accomplish its stated mission and purpose. Appointments to commissions shall be made in a manner consistent with applicable section of the state code.

D.

No citizen of the city shall serve on more than one appointed municipal position at any time, except for planning commissioners who may serve on the board of adjustment or a joint planning agency.

E.

All terms of appointment shall be according to the statute or ordinance that established the commission, committee, board or authority. No citizen may serve more than two consecutive terms on the same body. Individuals who are appointed to fill unexpired terms are eligible to serve the remainder of that term, plus two terms, provided the remainder of the existing term is less than half of the remaining term. If the remainder of the existing term is more than half of the remaining term, that member may only serve the unexpired term plus one additional term. All terms for members shall be staggered according to the statute or ordinance that created the commission, committee, board, or authority.
