A. The committee shall be comprised of seven (7) members appointed as follows:
1. Three (3) members appointed by the city council;
2. Three (3) members appointed by the mayor; and
3. One member appointed by the other six (6) appointed members.
B. Committee members appointed under subsection A2 or A3 of this section shall not be subject to the advice and consent of the city council. Any vacancy on the committee shall be filled for the unexpired term of the vacated member in the same manner as the vacated member was appointed.
C. In appointing the members to the committee, the mayor and the city council shall give consideration to achieving representation from a broad cross section of persons with compensation and/or benefits expertise. No member of the committee shall be deemed an employee of the city.
D. For purposes of this section, a committee member will not be considered a city employee simply because they receive compensation from the city for serving on the committee; and the fact that a committee member receives such compensation will not disqualify them from serving on city boards and commissions.
