Committee backs drafting charter amendment to allow two nonresidents on select boards
Summary
Staff presented draft language to let certain boards and commissions include up to two nonresidents; the change would be by charter ordinance, require a two‑thirds council vote and publication and will go to the city attorney for formal drafting.
The committee discussed draft language to allow up to two nonresidents to serve on specific boards and commissions — including the Community Development Authority, Park and Recreation Commission, Travel and Tourism Commission, Cemetery Board and Community Foundation — where doing so could fill expertise gaps.
Members noted the change is a charter amendment requiring a two‑thirds vote and publication and would not take effect for 60 days if no petition is filed; staff will forward the draft to the city attorney for formal amendment and return it for council consideration.
