(Ord. 6470 § 1; October 22, 2019.)

.010 Statement of Purpose.

.0101 City boards and commissions perform a valuable service to the City of Anaheim by providing a means by which the City Council can obtain the advice, opinions and recommendations of City residents and other members of the community. The City has a large number of talented and qualified individuals who are capable of serving as board and commission members. The City is best able to draw upon the talents and abilities of its people by the periodic, systematic and continual infusion of new members to serve on the City’s appointed boards and commissions.

.0102 For the above reasons, it is the desire of the City Council to encourage and solicit service on its boards and commissions by those who have not previously or recently served in such capacity. Neither the establishment of limitations on board and commission service set forth in this section, nor the failure of the City Council or any of its members to reappoint a board or commission member eligible for reappointment, should be viewed as a criticism of any person’s performance or service, but, rather, as a desire to encourage and facilitate public service by the greatest number of qualified individuals.

.020 Limitation on Length of Service.

.0201 No person shall serve more than two consecutive terms as a member of a City board or commission.

.0202 Any person who has served two consecutive terms on a City board or commission shall not be eligible for reappointment to that board or commission until expiration of a period of two years from the date of such person’s most recent service on that board or commission.

.0203 Any period of service equal to at least one-half of the length of a complete term shall be considered a term of service for purposes of this section.

.0204 Any person who serves less than one-half of a complete term on a board or commission and, within two years, is reappointed to that same board or commission to fill an unexpired term, shall be deemed to have served a full term if the total period of service for both such partial terms equals at least one-half of a full term of service.

.030 Prohibition on Concurrent Service.

.0301 No person shall concurrently serve as a member of two or more City boards or commissions.

.0302 Any person appointed by the City Council to serve as a member of any City board or commission who is then currently serving as a member of another City board or commission shall be deemed to have vacated the prior position upon acceptance of the new appointment.

.040 Any person serving as an ex-officio member, educational sector voting stakeholder member, or non-voting emeritus member of any City board or commission shall not be deemed a member of such board or commission for purposes of the limitations imposed by this section. (Ord. 5851 § 1; March 18, 2003: Ord. 6321, § 1; April 7, 2015: Ord. 6401 § 2 (part); March 21, 2017.)

.010 If a member of a City board or commission shall be absent with or without cause from three meetings of the board or commission on which that member serves within any six (6) month period, the secretary or staff liaison to such board or commission shall immediately file a written report thereof with the City Clerk, who shall notify the nominating Council Member or Mayor of such report. At the discretion of the nominating Council Member or Mayor, such board or commission member may be subject to possible removal by the nominating Council Member or Mayor, respectively, at a public meeting. If a member of a city board or commission is absent with or without cause from two (2) additional meetings within the six (6) months immediately succeeding the first three (3) absences, the secretary or staff liaison to such board or commission shall immediately file a written report thereof with the City Clerk, who shall schedule consideration of the possible removal of the member as an agenda item at the next regular meeting of the City Council, or as soon thereafter as the matter can be considered. Such board or commission member shall be subject to removal by the affirmative votes of a majority of the total membership of the City Council.

.020 An absence shall be considered an absence for cause if either (1) the member informs the chairperson or the City staff liaison of such City board or commission of such member's intended absence at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled time of the meeting, or (2) such absence is due to unforeseeable and unavoidable circumstances which circumstances are orally reported and explained by the member at the next regular meeting of the board or commission following such absence, or which are reported and explained in writing to the secretary and staff liaison of the board or commission prior to the next regular meeting of the board or commission.

.040 For purposes of this section and sections 1.04.391 and 1.04.395, the term "City board or commission" shall mean and include any board or commission of the City of Anaheim whose members are appointed by the City Council as specified in Article IX of the City Charter or as otherwise created by formal action of the City Council, including the members of any board created by a joint exercise of powers agreement to which the City is a party and pursuant to which the City Council has the power to appoint at least a majority of the board members.

.050 For purposes of this section, the term "meeting" shall mean and include any regular, adjourned or special meeting of the City board or commission to which the provisions of this section are being applied. (Ord. 6066 § 1; August 7, 2007: Ord. 6401 § 2 (part); March 21, 2017: Ord. 6458 § 2; January 29, 2019; Ord. 6470 § 2; October 22, 2019.)
