LIMITATION OF TERMS OF APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
(B-080)
City Attorney Hays reported that an ordinance limiting the terms
of appointments to Boards and Commissions was prepared at the
request of Mayor Johannessen. The ordinance states that no
person shall serve as a member of a commission or board whose
members are appointed by the City Council, or by the Mayor with
the approval of the City Council, for more than two consecutive
full terms; except for members of the Planning Commission and
Electric Utility Commission who are allowed three full terms. He
noted that the rationale for this distinction is that these
commissioners work in specialized and technical areas where the
commissioner's length of service tends to enhance expertise, and
they work on projects with lengthy time periods.
Council Member Carter stated that he would like to see this
measure pass. He noted that there is a lot of pressure to
reappoint commissioners, and this will enable new people to serve
on commissions.
Council Member Fulton stated that Council has the prerogative to
not reappoint commissioners, and there is no obligation to
reappoint commissioners. He emphasized that there is no need for an ordinance limiting the terms of service. Council Member Dahl stated that he is opposed to a limitation on
terms, and he reiterated that the number of terms can be limited under the existing system. Mayor Dahl admitted that there is pressure to reappoint commissioners; but, he noted that it is more appropriate to leave the system as it is. Service should be
based on qualifications, not on longevity.
Council Member Buffum stated that a retired commissioner should
be able to reapply for service after a six month period. She
also pointed out that the longevity of a project does not seem to
be a fair rationale for increasing the length of service.
Council Member Buffum pointed out that parks are long term
projects, just as hydropower projects are.
Mayor Johannessen stated that he had no objection to the
ordinance being amended so that a commissioner could reapply
after a six month period. He suggested that the Ordinance be
rewritten and brought back to Council for reconsideration.
