Calabasas Municipal Code Ch. 2.27 Commission Appointments, Removal and Absences

Unless a different procedure is expressly stated elsewhere in Title 2 of this Code, each city councilmember shall nominate one (1) commissioner, which nomination shall be subject to city council confirmation. The city council may reappoint a commissioner to an unlimited number of terms.

(Ord. No. 2015-321, § 1, 4-8-2015)

The city council, by a majority vote of the entire council, may remove a commissioner from office with or without cause. In addition and as a separate basis for removal, the nominating councilmember may also remove his/her commissioner whom he/she nominated by written notice to the city council and may thereafter nominate a new person who shall serve for the balance of the term upon council approval.

(Ord. No. 2015-321, § 1, 4-8-2015)

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, any commissioner or alternate who absents himself or herself from three (3), consecutive, regular meetings of the commission, unless excused by the commission by action recorded in its minutes, or who is absent without a recorded excuse, from a total of five (5) regular meetings of the commission in any six-month period, shall thereby automatically forfeit his or her position. The chair or vice chair of the commission shall thereupon promptly notify the city council, and the former commissioner or alternate, of the fact of the vacancy.

(Ord. No. 2015-321, § 1, 4-8-2015)
