Council will appoint Board Members by way of a vote. Established by Resolution No. 12-2011, adopted on May 18, 2011, the City Council outlined the policy of how the appointment process to its various advisory boards would be conducted. According to the policy, appointments to a City Advisory Board shall be by ballot and shall only be effective when appointed by a majority of Council present at a meeting for which a quorum has been declared. In no circumstances will a board member be seated who has had less than three councilors vote for their appointment. All ballots shall include a “none of the above” option for the Council. The candidates and the none of the above line shall be referenced as “council options” below.
Once all ballots have been counted, Council will affirm those votes by a voice motion ratifying the selection done by ballot.
