Sacramento Municipal Code Art. XV Boards, Commissions and Agencies

The city council shall provide by ordinance for such boards and commissions as may be required by law or deemed desirable, shall prescribe their functions, and may prescribe qualifications and conditions of service on such boards and commissions, including compensation and reimbursement for expenses, terms or office, method of appointment and removal. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Charter, the mayor shall appoint all members of boards and commissions, subject to the concurrence of a majority of the city council.

Except as otherwise provided in this Charter, the authority and functions of boards and commissions shall be specified by ordinance or resolution, consistent with applicable federal and state law.

For good cause, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, a member of a city board or commission who has been appointed for a specified term by the city council or by the mayor with the approval of the city council, may be removed from office during such term by the city council. Such member may be removed only after such member has been given a copy of the charges against such member at least ten days prior to a hearing to be held on the charges. At the hearing the member shall have an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel.
