Legislative attorney explains staggered terms and term limits under CB 88 (2023)
Summary
County legislative attorney Leroy Maddox summarized CB 88 (2023): initial staggered 2-, 3- and 4‑year terms for appointed positions, after which terms default to four years; statute language cited that no member may serve more than two consecutive full terms.
Leroy Maddox, the county legislative attorney on the call, walked the board through the staggered‑term language in CB 88 (2023). "In the legislation, CB 88 20 23, They have 3 sets of staggered terms, 1 for 2 years, 1 for 3 years, and 1 for 4 years," he said, adding that the initial shorter terms are converted to four‑year full terms thereafter.
Maddox also cited the statute's limit on consecutive full terms: "No member may serve more than 2 consecutive full terms," language board members asked the attorney to clarify during the meeting. Members raised questions about whether initial shorter terms could allow longer aggregate service; Maddox and members agreed the statute refers to consecutive full terms, and initial partial terms are addressed separately in the ordinance text.
Board members requested follow‑up if any additional legal interpretation is needed before establishing the leadership rotation and scheduling future appointments.
