(A) Membership eligibility and appointment process. In order to be eligible for appointment to a board, a person must be 18 years of age or older and a City of Goldsboro resident for the duration of the appointment term, unless otherwise provided by law or ordinance, and must file an application on a form provided by the City Clerk. Unless otherwise directed, or unless otherwise explicitly provided for elsewhere in this Code, all appointments to all boards, shall be made by the Council as a whole. Unless otherwise directed, no person shall serve on more than one board at the same time.
(B) Unexpired terms. The Council intends to make appointments to fill unexpired portions of terms created by vacancies as expeditiously as possible. Further, the Council recognizes that the urgency of filling such vacancies may vary depending upon the circumstances of the vacancy.
(C) Removal. All members of all boards shall serve at the pleasure of the City Council, regardless of the terms for which appointed, and the City Council may in its discretion, at any time, remove any members of any board for any reason, including inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.
(D) Resignations. If a member concludes that he or she will have difficulty fulfilling the volunteer commitment, the member may voluntarily resign from the board. Notice should be communicated in writing to the City Clerk's office. Members who have been removed from a board or who have resigned prior to completion of their term shall disclose such fact in any subsequent application for board appointment.
