A. For each board identified in Section 2.14.030, the terms of its membership as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall be revised according to the requirements of this chapter. In making the revisions, each board position shall be assigned a number. For example, a six-member board shall be assigned positions numbered One, Two, Three, Four, Five and Six. Once a number is assigned, then each position shall be assigned a term in accordance with Section 2.14.040. For example, in the case of a six-member board, Position Number One shall be assigned a one-year term, Position Number Two shall be assigned a two-year term, Position Number Three shall be assigned a three-year term, Position Number Four shall be assigned a four-year term, Position Number five shall be assigned a five-year term, and Position Number Six shall be assigned a six-year term. Once this has occurred, current board members shall be assigned positions as provided herein.

B. For purposes of assigning current board members’ positions with revised terms, the revised terms shall be deemed to have commenced January 1, 1995; provided, however, the time served by a board member under the board member’s current term as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter plus the amount of time assigned under the revised term cannot exceed the board member’s remaining years of eligibility under the board member’s term in existence as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter (i.e., prior to any revision). Consequently, any assignment to a revised term that exceeds the board member’s remaining years of eligibility shall be effective only until the expiration of the member’s current eligibility. (For example, as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, a board member has served four years of a six-year term. Such board member is assigned a three-year revised term of which the board member is only eligible to serve two additional years. At the expiration of the two-year period, a new board member would be appointed for a one-year appointment to fulfill the balance of the term.)

C. Each board identified in Section 2.14.030 shall submit the revised term with a corresponding position for each member to the city clerk within sixty days of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter. The term revision shall be accomplished either through voluntary action by the board in accordance with the requirements of this chapter or by the application of the revision process set forth in subsection D of this section. In the event any board required to make the revisions fails to do so, then the city clerk shall utilize the process set forth in subsection D to revise the terms.

D. Those who are board members as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter shall, by lot, be assigned a position with a corresponding term per Sections 2.14.040(B) and 2.14.050(A). A drawing shall be conducted for each board under the direction of the city clerk or the city clerk’s designee. Each board position with its corresponding term shall be noted on a slip of paper and placed in a receptacle. One slip of paper from the receptacle will then be selected for each board member. The position identified on the slip of paper chosen shall become the board member’s position. The term which the board member will then serve shall be the term assigned to the position or the remaining balance of the board member’s existing term, whichever is less.

E. In the event there are open board positions following the process in subsections C and D, those positions shall be filled with new appointments for their respective terms.

F. Should any question arise concerning term revisions, the department responsible for staffing the board in question may make a written request of the city clerk seeking clarification. The written determination of the city clerk shall be final. Further, the city clerk is authorized to promulgate rules concerning term revisions. Such rules shall be in writing and shall be provided to all affected boards. (Ord. 2050-95 § 5, 1995.)
