There is hereby created and established a Design Review/Historical Preservation Review Committee, which shall be composed of five (5) members: a member of Council, a resident member of the local Historical Society; and three (3) members representing the public at large. The term of each Council member shall coincide with his or her term of office. Terms of the appointment of other members of the Committee shall be for three (3) years. Council shall also appoint alternates of the same qualifications as the principals to act in the place of the principals in the event any project with which any of the principals are personally or professionally interested comes before the Committee. The Committee shall be authorized to request professional advice whenever deemed necessary by the Committee.
Members shall be appointed by a majority vote of Council for a term of three (3) years with a maximum of two (2) consecutive terms and shall continue in office until a successor is appointed. Persons currently on Boards, Commissions or Committees having served either 2 consecutive terms or a total of 6 consecutive years at the end of their current term are not eligible for reappointment, but may reapply after sitting out one term. Persons currently in office may serve out their existing appointment. Each Board, Commission or Committee may designate one person with exceptional professional qualifications to be exempt from term limits with Council's approval. That exception is non-transferable and will remain with only that person until that person is no longer on that Board or Commission. (Added 11-2-93; 11-5-13)
