VACANCIES <br />Any vacancies in any board or commission, from whatever cause arising, shall be filled <br />by appointment by the Council, upon a vacancy occurring, leaving an unexpired portion <br />of a term, any appointment to fill such vacancy shall be for the unexpired portion of such <br />term. If members of a board or commission absent themselves from three consecutive <br />regular meetings of each board or commission, unless by permission of such board or <br />commission expressed in its official minutes, or is convicted of a crime involving moral <br />turpitude, or ceases to be a qualified elector of the City, their office shall become vacant <br />and shall be so declared by the Council. <br />Government Code Section 54974 provides that whenever an unscheduled vacancy <br />occurs, a special vacancy notice shall be posted in the office of the City Clerk, and as <br />may other be directed by the City Council, within 20 days after the vacancy occurs; and <br />that final appointment to fill such vacancy shall not be made for at least 10 working days <br />after such posting. <br />It shall normally be the policy to take applications on a regular ongoing basis; <br />applications shall be considered current for one year from the date received. <br />The City Clerk shall, pursuant to Government code Section 54972, prepare an <br />appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards and commissions which are appointed <br />by the City Council, which shall contain the information required in said section. All <br />efforts will be made to provide public information relative to vacancies prior to such <br />appointments. <br />PROCEDURES FOR MAKING APPOINTMENTS AND REAPPOINTMENTS <br />Any person desiring to be considered for an appointment to any city board or <br />commission, except incumbent board or commission members, shall complete an <br />application indicating on which board or commission they desire to serve. Persons shall <br />be limited to serving on only one board or commission at a time. <br />Any appointees shall comply with appropriate provisions of the law relative to disclosure <br />of financial interests, if applicable. <br />It shall be the policy of the City Council not to appoint any person to a board or <br />commission who would have continually recurring conflicts of interest requiring <br />abstentions, or an excessively high percentage of such situations. <br />ATTENDANCE POLICY <br />The City Council requires that members of boards and commissions abide by the <br />following policy: <br />K4MW1 <br />
