A. Upon appointment, the commission shall be called together by the Mayor and shall organize by electing one member as Chair and one as Secretary from any of its members. The Chair and Secretary shall each serve one year terms, but would be eligible for reelection.
B. A majority of the membership of the commission shall constitute a quorum. The City Manager or his/her designee shall act as lead City staff to the commission. The Director of Community and Economic Development, as well as other City department representatives as needed, shall also serve the commission in an advisory capacity.
C. All members of the commission shall serve as such without compensation except for reimbursement of reasonable and necessary expenses, subject to the approval of the City Council.
D. Any commission member may be removed from the commission by the Mayor, with the concurrence of the Council. Any such removal shall be stated in writing and filed in the City Clerk's Office and a copy thereof filed with the Chair of the commission. Continued absence of any member from meetings of the commission shall, at the discretion of the Mayor, render any such member subject to immediate removal from appointment, with final approval by the City Council. Any member consistently absent from the commission meetings, without sufficient excuse, shall be considered to have vacated his or her appointment. In the event a vacancy arises, a new commission member shall be appointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council, and the commission member so appointed shall serve the balance of the unexpired term. Any such vacancies shall be filled within sixty (60) days after the position becomes vacant. (Ord. 1980, 3-18-2013)
