PART SIX 6
Notification and Orientation of Appointees
The City Clerk will notify appointees in writing of their appointment by City Council, with copies to the board
chairman and/or staff member on the board. The appointee will be sworn in at the office of the City Clerk or Clerk
of Courts.
The board chair or staff member on the board is responsible for informing the new member about meetings, the
attendance policy, and orienting the new member to their duties.
Attendance Requirement—Members of Boards and Commissions
Anyone appointed by City Council to a Board or Commission as listed below who fails to attend meetings
consistently, who has irregular attendance, or unexcused absences, as defined in City Code Section 2-11.1, shall
be considered after the steps mentioned therein have been taken to have voluntarily resigned. The Chairperson
of the board/commission shall notify the City Clerk of attendance concerns so that Council is aware when it
considers an individual for removal, appointment, or reappointment to an appointed body.
This policy shall apply to all boards/commissions listed below, provided however, that if State law or City
Ordinance addresses attendance requirements in an alternative manner, such law shall prevail over this policy.
City Council Liaisons
Each Board or Commission will be assigned a member of City Council to serve as a liaison. The primary role of
the liaison is to facilitate communication and collaboration between the Council and the respective group. This
assignment ensures an open line of communication and promotes alignment between the Council’s goals and
the work of its boards, committees, and commissions.
