Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code Ch. 2.22 Membership in City Commissions and Committees

Because city commissions and committees, who are appointed by the city council, frequently make important policy decisions and recommendations to the city council, it is important for the members of the city's committees and commissions to be residents of the city.

(Code 1981, § 2.22.010; Ord. No. 433, § 1(part), 2006)

Except as expressly provided in this chapter or in another section of this Code, all members of city commissions and committees who are appointed by the city council shall be residents of the city. Any person who is a member of a city commission or committee and subsequently ceases to be a resident of the city shall immediately notify the mayor and city clerk of that fact. Except in a case of extreme hardship, such notice shall be given, in writing, within five business days of the date when the commissioner or committee member ceases to be a resident of the city.

(Code 1981, § 2.22.020; Ord. No. 433, § 1(part), 2006)

The residency requirement imposed by section 2.22.020 (City residency required) shall not apply to:

(a) Members of the geotechnical board of appeals;

(b) An ex officio or nonvoting member of any city commission or committee; and

(c) To any commission or committee that has been expressly exempted from the residency requirement by another provision of this Code.
