Member Information

Each member of the city council shall nominate one member of the charter board, which nomination shall be subject to approval of a majority of the city council. Two additional members of the charter board shall be appointed by the city council as a whole. The seven members thus appointed by the city council shall be residents of the city. The term of those board members appointed by the individual city council members shall be coterminous with the appointing elected official’s term of office. The terms of those board members appointed by the city council as a whole shall be coterminous with the mayor’s term of office.

Removal of a Member
The city council may at any time remove a member from office and appoint a qualified person to serve out the unexpired term of any member so removed. Such action shall require three positive votes. If any member fails to attend two out of three successive meetings without cause and without prior notice and approval of the chairman, the board shall declare the member’s office vacant and the city council shall promptly fill such vacancy for the remainder of the term. The city council may reappoint the person removed provided there is at least a majority vote of the city council to do so. The board members shall serve without compensation.
