(A) The Intragovernmental Conference Committee shall be a standing committee.
(B) The City Council shall by majority vote of the entire Council appoint one member to the Committee. The term of the appointee, unless otherwise provided for at the time of the appointment, shall be four years but the appointee shall continue to serve until a replacement is named. Except at such times as a dispute may be pending before the Committee, the City Council may replace its appointee at any time by majority vote.
(C) The Mayor shall appoint one member to the Committee. The term of the appointee, unless a shorter term is provided for at the time of the appointment, shall expire at the end of the Mayor's term of office but the appointee shall continue to serve until a replacement is named. Except at such times as a dispute may be pending before the Committee, the Mayor may replace his or her appointee at any time.
(D) The appointment of a committee member by one appointing authority shall not be approved or disapproved by the other appointing authority.
(E) The third member of the Committee shall be selected by the other two and shall serve as the chairperson of the Committee. The selection shall not be subject to approval or disapproval by the Mayor or City Council. The term of the third member shall expire with the term of the Mayor. If there is a formal dispute pending as of the end of the term of the Mayor the third member shall continue to serve with respect to that pending matter until that formal dispute is resolved.
(F) There are no term limits for any appointee.
(G) There are no specific qualifications for Committee members. Members will deal with complex issues related to municipal governance and interpretation of legal documents. It is envisioned that the Committee will be most effective if its members are not advocates for the Mayor or the City Council but are independent public servants willing to try and find consensus on complex issues.
