Effective January 1, 2022, no person may serve more than three consecutive terms of office as a member of the same board or commission. This section shall apply to the boards and commissions listed in Section 2.16.070(a), except for the Planning and Transportation Commission, in which no person may serve more than two consecutive terms of office as a member of the same board or commission.
(a) For the purposes of this section, a member will be considered to have served a term of office if he or she serves more than half of a standard term. For boards and commissions with three-year terms, half of the term shall be 18 months. For boards and commissions with four-year terms, half of the term shall be two years.
(b) A member's service that began on or before January 1, 2022 shall count under the provisions of this section only for those members who served for at least one day on a board or commission between January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, members of boards and commissions serving as of January 1, 2022 shall be permitted to complete their term.
(c) A member who has served three consecutive terms of office (or two consecutive terms of office for the Planning and Transportation Commission) may remain as a member of the same board or commission for up to six months past the end of the term if no replacement is appointed or until a replacement is appointed, whichever comes first.
(d) A member who has served three consecutive terms of office (or two consecutive terms of office for the Planning and Transportation Commission) shall not be appointed to the same board or commission within one year of the last date of service.
