METHOD AND TIMELlNE TO FILL p~ COMMISSION
AND LAKE ADVISORY COMMITTEE VACANCIES
DECEMBER 6, 1993
Allen Greenfield's election to the City Council leaves a vacancy in the
Planning Commission commencing January 1, 1994. The terms of a
number of members of the Lake Advisory Committee expired in October,
1993. Staff needs direction on how to proceed to fill these positions.
In accordance with Council Bylaws the policy as stated in Section 10
Committee Structure - Item B provides that:
1 . "Notice of the vacancy is made public and interested
individuals may be contacted and encouraged to consider
the position.
2. A committee consisting of the Mayor, City Manager and
Department Head together with other members so appointed
by the City Council shall interview all candidates and make a
recommendation to the full City Council.
3. The City Manager shall present the recommendation to the
City Council and they may accept or reject the
recommendation. If they reject the recommendation, they
shall appoint someone else or decide to reopen the vacancy
to the public for new individuals. "
This appears to be the appropriate means of proceeding. The Council
should determine if other members besides the Mayor should serve on
the Committee.
