If two alternates have been <br />appointed, said alternates shall take the place of absent members on the basis of seniority. <br /> <br />Hope this information is helpful! <br /> <br />From: Janet Lewis [mailto:jlewisOci.crystal.nm.us] <br />Sent: Monday, August 1 $, 2003 12:04 PM <br />To: Givonna Reed <br />Cc: Marquitta Frost <br />Subject: FW: [tug] boards and cormnissions <br /> <br />Dear Givomaa: <br />Hello. Your email was forwarded to me by Marquitta Frost. <br />The City of Crystal's process of appointing members to boards and commissions is as follows: <br />An interview with the applicant is scheduled with the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tern, and chair of the <br />conmtission to determine if the appointment is a "good fit." At the interview', the applicant is <br />advised about their commitment to the commission. An applicant is formally appointed to a <br />commission at a council meeting. <br /> <br />Our City Code allows the chair of a commission to recommend to the council removal of a <br />member for attendance issues. This is stated in each commissions' by-laws. The city council <br />has only been asked to consider removal of one member of a commission during the last 4 years. <br /> <br />The use of alternate members has not been considered except on the Employee Review Board. <br /> <br />I hope this helps. Please ~iYe me a call if you need more information. <br /> <br /> G:~Adn~ilfistration\HumanResources\Comn~issio~lsXPlanning~2003\follow up from 08-14-03 CC n~eeting.doc <br /> <br />~344- <br /> <br /> <br />
