SECTION 6.15. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.
   (A)   To afford citizen participation in the affairs of the city government for the purpose of determining community needs and means of meeting such needs through the government of the city, citizen advisory boards may be established by ordinance.
   (B)   Each of such boards shall be comprised of citizens of the city who have the qualifications required by this Charter for elective officers of the city.
