Commission briefed on city ordinance amending rules for boards and reappointment process
Summary
A commissioner summarized a pending ordinance to amend Chapter 31 governing city boards, commissions and committees, highlighted a requirement that reappointments not be automatic and noted upcoming training and reporting expectations for members.
A commission member said "the city's exclusion ordinance was passed by the council" and urged the commission to review its own exclusion policies for alignment. She explained the council was preparing an ordinance amending Chapter 31 to establish general provisions for boards, commissions and committees and said the measure would reach a third reading at the next council meeting before taking effect 30 days after adoption.
The same member told the group that reappointments would not be automatic and that applicants must indicate a desire to be reappointed in writing; the ordinance would also institute training requirements tied to state ethics and public meeting laws and require annual reporting so councilors can review attendance and participation.
