There is hereby created a City Wide Advisory Committee in accordance with Section 6-101 of the Flint City Charter to act in an advisory capacity to the City of Flint in connection with all community and economic development programs.
(Ord. 2902, passed 4-9-1984)
(a) The City Wide Advisory Committee (CWAC) shall, except as otherwise provided herein, consist of 27 members. There shall be three members from each of the nine wards of the city serving on the CWAC. In each ward the City Council shall appoint two (2) members and the Mayor shall appoint one (1) member to the CWAC.
(b) A member of the CWAC shall be a registered voter and a resident of the ward in which he or she is appointed.
(c) Prior to action being taken by the City Council with respect to an appointment by the Mayor to the CWAC from a particular ward, the City Council member representing such ward shall first have had the opportunity to submit to the Mayor the name or names of any person(s) said Council member seeks to have considered for appointment to the CWAC from said ward.
(e) Current members of the CWAC shall continue to serve until their present term of appointment would otherwise expire, unless prior thereto, they should die, resign, accept appointment as one of the “initial appointments” as provided in § 2-26.2, or are removed as herein provided. Once the present term of a current member expires, he or she shall not serve on the CWAC beyond that term unless appointed as provided in § 2-26.2.
(f) For purposes of this article,
CURRENT MEMBER is a person serving on the CWAC on January 23, 1989, and PRESENT TERM shall mean a term expiring either on May 31, 1989 or May 31, 1990, whichever date is applicable to a particular current member.
(Ord. 2902, passed 4-9-1984; Ord. 3092, passed 2-13-1989; Ord. 3484, passed 12-10-2001)
The terms of the initial appointments to the CWAC from each ward shall be as follows:
Two (2) members shall serve a term of three (3) years; two (2) members shall serve a term of two (2) years; and one (1) member shall serve a term of one (1) years. The initial terms of the members from each ward shall be determined by lot. Following the terms of the initial appointments, all terms of appointment shall be for three (3) years, provided however, that an appointment to fill a vacancy during a term shall be for the unexpired balance of that term. For purposes of this section “initial appointments” shall mean the first forty-five (45) members appointed to the CWAC following the adoption of this ordinance establishing a forty-five (45) member CWAC. All successor appointments shall be made in the same manner as provided for in § 2-26.1. A member of the CWAC may be reappointed to succeed him/herself.
Except for the initial appointments, the effective date of all appointments shall be June 1st. For the initial appointments, the effective date of each such appointment shall be the date of City Council approval of said initial appointments, provided said approval is on or before June 1st. Appointments made after June 1st shall be given retroactive effect to June 1. The term of an appointment shall expire on May 31st of the year in which the appointment would expire. Members, as distinguished from current members as defined in § 2-26.1, may continue to serve beyond the expiration of their term, until their reappointment, the appointment of a successor, or their removal, whichever should occur first. A current member, as defined in § 2-26.1, may be appointed as one of the initial appointments under this section. If a current member accepts such initial appointment, that acceptance shall cause the automatic termination of their present term.
(Ord. 2902, passed 4-9-1984; Ord. 3092, passed 2-13-1989)
The City Wide Advisory Committee shall within thirty (30) days following the appointment of all members, organize, adopt a regular schedule of meetings, elect officers and adopt such administrative procedures pursuant to Section 1-801 of the Flint City Charter as are necessary to accomplish the purposes mentioned in § 2-26 hereof.
The Department of Community Development shall provide whatever technical assistance is required to the City Wide Advisory Committee in the performance of its duties.
(Ord. 2902, passed 4-9-1984)
Members of the City Wide Advisory Committee shall serve without compensation from the City or from any trust, donation or legacy to the City for their services as such members, but this limitation shall not preclude a member or his firm from receiving compensation from the City under contract or otherwise, for services rendered outside his duties as a member of the City Wide Advisory Committee.
