Christina Rubalcava(At-Large) from the Judicial Selection Advisory Board.
#3 — Commission Membership Requirements: Kriss Carneal provided a spreadsheet
about the creation and function of each board/commission. There was discussion on how
many terms a commissioner could serve. The past practice was to allow everyone to serve
2-2 year terms, with an exception of a 3rd term under unique circumstances. Some of the
ordinances do not say anything about serving more than 2 terms. It was discussed to follow
the past practices so other citizens have the opportunity to serve. The 3rd term option will
stay,but will need to justified. The extension may be for a full 2 year term or just until the
seat is filled,when there is a hardship in filling the seat immediately.
Councilmember Aldama advised that the integrity of appointments should follow the
ordinance, because the Arts Commission ordinance states that a member may serve a
maximum of 2 consecutive terms of 2 years. Other boards/commissions state "appointed
for a term of 2 years." Staff will look at the ordinances and clarify which
boards/commissions have clear stipulations on term limits and will bring this back at a later
time.
Councilmember Tolmachoff asked when the discussion for possibly changing the
ordinance about appointing non-residents to boards/commissions, primarily the Aviation
Advisory Commission. Brent advised that this subject will be discussed after the
comprehensive look at each board/commission on term lengths.
