It shall normally be the policy to take applications on a regular ongoing basis; applications shall be considered current for two years from the date received. The City Clerk shall prepare an appointments list of all regular and ongoing boards and commissions that are appointed by the City Council, which shall contain the information required in said section. All efforts will be made to provide public information relative to vacancies prior to such appointments. PROCEDURES FOR MAKING APPOINTMENTS AND REAPPOINTMENTS Any person who wants to be considered for an appointment to any City board or commission, including incumbent board or commission members, must complete an application indicating on which board or commission they desire to serve. Persons shall be limited to serving on only one board or commission at a time. Any appointees shall comply with appropriate provisions of the law relative to disclosure of financial interests, if applicable. It shall be the policy of the City Council not to appoint any person to a board or commission who would have continually recurring conflicts of interest requiring abstentions, or an excessively high percentage of such situations. ATTENDANCE POLICY The City Council requires that members of boards and commissions abide by the following policies: 1. Members of boards or commissions shall be required to attend not less than 75% of all regular meetings held; 2. Failure by a member to attend three consecutive regular meetings of a board or commission will be cause for Council declaring the member’s position vacant; 3. Attendance records will be reviewed by the City Council once a year based on the previous 12-month period, except for appointments effective July 1st or thereafter; 4. Failure to attend mandated training will be cause for Council’s declaring a member’s position vacant. 5. All mandatory trainings must be completed within three months of appointment. Council members will be notified of non-compliance.
