Council amends golf advisory board code to clarify membership
Summary
Council amended Title 2, Chapter 6, Section 1 of the city code to correct and clarify the number and appointment process for members of the golf advisory board, changing the stated membership from 13 to 12 and confirming mayoral appointment with council consent.
The Idaho Falls City Council on Nov. 13 approved an ordinance amending Title 2, Chapter 6, Section 1 of city code to clarify membership on the golf advisory board. Director Holmes told council the current code wording listed 13 members but counting by category showed the correct number should be 12; the change prevents creating an even-numbered voting board.
Council discussion focused on how the council member who serves ex officio is appointed. Several council members recommended keeping appointment language as 'appointed by the mayor with council consent' rather than assigning the appointment process to the council president. The council approved the ordinance under suspension of rules for three readings and requested publication by summary; the ordinance was read by title during the meeting.
Why it matters: the correction removes a coding inconsistency and clarifies appointment process for the council’s ex officio representative to the golf advisory board.
Next steps: the ordinance will be published by summary and take effect per the code’s effective-date provisions.
