Council sets staggered two-year terms for Nuisance Review Board citizen members

Berne City Council · August 25, 2026

Summary

The council adopted Resolution 2026-8-1 to establish staggered two-year terms for citizen members of the Nuisance Review Board; council chose option 2, keeping both current members through the end of the year and staggering subsequent appointments.

The council voted to adopt an enabling resolution (2026-8-1) that implements staggered two-year terms for citizen members of the Nuisance Review Board.

City attorney explained the two options for staggering terms: (1) keep one current citizen member on an extended term so terms are offset, or (2) let both current members finish their two years and then stagger the next appointments by offering one one-year and one two-year initial term. Councilor (speaker 10) moved to proceed with option 2; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Council members said the measure is intended to make appointments predictable and to formalize a practice the ordinance already envisioned. The resolution was described as an enabling measure that starts staggered terms on January 1 following adoption.
