Information Sheet CDC Term End Dates per the Bylaws Recently an automated email notice was sent by the Granicus system to all Boards and Commissions members that have a term ending date of February 28, 2023 or sooner. If a member is interested in being reappointed, they should reapply – meaning update their application. While this is generally true, it may not be entirely accurate for all members. Members who have served 8 consecutive years on the same board/commission will not be eligible for reappointment to that same board/commission. They may certainly apply to serve on another board/commission if they wish. Unfortunately, this 8 year limit is not something that Granicus will report, so we must do that manually. Guidelines for terms from the CDC Bylaws: • Appointed members: two consecutive four-year terms • Elected members: Initial two-year term, followed by two consecutive four-year terms If you are eligible for reappointment and interested in serving another term starting next year: • Let your appointing council member (or incoming council member) know • A roster of current council members is attached for your convenience; however, staff will assist in placing a call if needed • Update your application using the same system you used before If you feel your termination date is incorrect, please let staff know and we will contact the Clerk’s office. Please Note: For members who were elected to take over for a resigning commissioner within the last two years, we are awaiting guidance from the clerk’s office on how to calculate your terms. Please stand by and be prepared for the possibility that you may need to go through the election process again in the first quarter of 2023. No action is needed at this time.  More specific guidance from the Clerk’s office: Terms for the CDC started in 2019. It breaks down a little more specifically based on who made their appointment. In an ideal situation, the following applies: 1. the seven members appointed by Council had a maximum of two, four-year terms (for a total of eight years ending on 2027) in accordance with Section 2-1-22 (B) and (C), meaning they get a max of eight consecutive years and must wait another two years before they can serve on the CDC again. So, if a member serves through 2027, they cannot serve again until 2029. 2. for the eight democratically-elected members, they had an initial two-year term plus two, four- year terms (for a total of 10 years ending on 2029) in accordance with Section 2-1-22 (B) and (C), meaning after the expiration of their max eight consecutive years, they must wait another two years before they can serve on the CDC again. If a member served through 2029, they cannot serve again until 2031.
