(A) There are two classes of official town Citizen Committees: ad hoc and standing Citizen Committees.
AD HOC CITIZEN COMMITTEES. Formed by motion or resolution of the Council, having the composition, responsibilities, and schedule adopted by Council on motion or resolution. Such AD HOC CITIZEN COMMITTEES are only appropriate for addressing matters having a short duration or specific project focus, and will automatically terminate as defined in their commissioning documents (or when the work is complete, if no time is stated) without further Council action, unless extended by Council.
STANDING CITIZEN COMMITTEES. Formed by ordinance of the Council amending this document, having the composition, by-laws, and responsibilities adopted by Council in such ordinance. STANDING CITIZEN COMMITTEES are only appropriate for addressing matters having a continuing duration or recurring project focus, and will terminate only upon Council action.
(B) Each board, commission, or Citizen Committee must elect one of its members to serve as the presiding officer or chair at the first meeting of an ad hoc Citizen Committee, or on the first meeting of the year for a board, commission, or standing Citizen Committee.
(C) Boards, commissions, and Citizen Committees shall hold regular and special meetings as may be required. The conduct of board, commission, and Citizen Committee meetings are governed by the same rules of policy and procedure as the Town Council specifically including the requirements to have the Pledge of Allegiance and moment of silence at each meeting as set forth in Dewey-Humboldt Town Code § 30.105(D)(1).
(D) Boards, Commissions, and Citizen Committees should comply with all applicable open meeting and conflict-of-interest laws of Arizona.
(E) Board, commission, and Citizen Committee members are expected to adhere to the Town Council’s Code of Ethics.
