Title
An ordinance amending the City Code, by revising various articles and sections in Chapter 20 (Boards, Commissions, and Committees), related to term limits for both the Civil Service Commission and Personnel & Trial Boards; Landmark Commissioners term limits; changing the membership of the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC); Building Standards Board membership criteria; and voting calculation.
Body
The City is constructing important updates in relation to boards and commissions and is creating ways to make several boards and commission processes more effective and efficient.
The ordinance:
1. Aligns the term limits for both the Civil Service Commission and Personnel & Trial Boards to have said boards match the State law rules on term limits for the Civil Service Commission.
2. Allows the City Council to reappoint Landmark Commissioners for terms that exceed the current three term limit.
3. Changes the membership of the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee (CIAC) pursuant to changes in State law.
4. Allows the City Council to appoint persons to the Building Standards Board from various professions as a goal instead of a requirement to increase opportunities for service on the board.
5. Makes corrections to the voting calculation to be a majority of the Attending Members of a board.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
