A. Appointments of city board members shall be made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the city council unless otherwise provided by this code or other law regarding a particular city board.
B. City boards should represent a cross section of the city. To ensure that a cross section is represented, the city council should apply the following criteria in considering appointments to city boards:
1. Individuals should serve on only one board at a time, unless explicitly permitted in this code or other law.
2. City boards should have representatives from all geographic areas of the city.
3. Individuals who have not been involved in city government should be encouraged to participate through appointment to city boards.
4. Equal opportunity principles should be recognized in appointments.
5. Appointees should be city residents unless an exception in this code or other law applicable to a particular city board provides otherwise.
C. 1. Employees of Salt Lake City Corporation, whether merit or appointed, shall not be eligible for membership on a city board unless an exception in this code or other law applicable to a particular board allows such appointments.
2. For purposes of this section, an individual will not be considered a city employee simply because they receive compensation from the city for serving on a city board or commission; and the fact that an individual receives such compensation will not disqualify them from serving on city boards and commissions.
D. Spouses and family members of city employees may be considered for appointment to a city board when the board is not advisory to the employee's department or job responsibilities. (Ord. 36-23, 2023: Ord. 17-22, 2022: Ord. 5- 22, 2022: Ord. 12-16, 2016)
