Elected officials seated on a board or commission are not eligible for a stipend. b) IRS reporting Stipends paid to members of City boards and commissions will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as required by law. 7. Exceptions pertaining to Charter Commission a) Term limits Terms of office for members of the City of Ramsey Home Rule Charter Commission are established by Minnesota Statutes 410.05 subd.2. b) Appointment by District Judge Appointments to the City of Ramsey Home Rule Charter Commission are made by the Chief Judge of the Tenth Judicial District in accordance with Minnesota Statute 410.05, when a commission member's term expires or a vacancy occurs, the chief judge has 30 days to make an appointment. If the judge fails to make an appointment, the governing body of the city may appoint the new members unless the chief judge indicates in writing to the governing body, within the 30 day period, of his or her intention to make the appointments. In this case, the judge has an additional 60 days to make the appointment. 8. Service on more than one City board or commission Resolution 89 -11 -302 states that it is the policy of the Ramsey City Council "to avoid appointing individuals to more than one Board or Commission unless adequate representation cannot be accomplished or it is clearly in the best interest of the City of Ramsey to make such appointments to multiple Boards or Commission." 4
