(A) The Mayor may create an Appointing Committee, and designate a Chairperson for board, commission and committee appointments. This subcommittee shall be made up of three members of the Council or appropriate board, commission or committee. The Mayor may appoint himself or herself to the Appointing Committee. The purpose of the Appointing Committee is to interview applicants and recommend candidates to the Council.
(B) If no subcommittee is created, the Council shall conduct interviews and appoint individuals to the appropriate board, commission or committee. All members of boards, commissions and committees created under this subchapter shall be appointed by members of the Council.
(C) Upon a vacancy occurring on any board, commission or committee for any reason, a new member shall be appointed by the Council to fill only the unexpired term.
(D)
The Council may appoint alternates to serve on boards, commissions and committees when a vacancy occurs. Alternates may attend meetings but shall not participate until a vacancy has occurred and the alternate has filled that vacancy. If the Council appoints more than one alternate for a particular board, commission or committee, the Council shall designate the alternates as first alternate, second alternate, and so on, such that immediately upon a vacancy, the first alternate shall fill the vacancy without the need for further Council action.
