AGENDA #4c

memorandum

to: Mayor and Town Council

from: Sabrina M. Oliver, Town Clerk

subject: Notification of Board and Commission Term Vacancies

date: January 23, 2006

PURPOSE

The attached resolution would establish a schedule for nominations and appointments to boards and commissions and to the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership Board of Directors, the Chapel Hill Public Arts Commission, and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors, for terms that expire on June 30, 2006.

In accordance with the Town Council Procedures Manual, we have compiled a list of board and commission appointments that will expire on June 30, 2006: a total of 55 term expirations are expected on this date.  Under existing Council procedures, seven of these board and commission members are ineligible for reappointment because they have served two consecutive terms on the same board or commission.  If the Council wishes, this provision may be waived or revised to permit longer terms of service.  By copy of this memorandum, chairpersons of affected boards and commissions will be notified of expiring terms.

The next step in the process is for the Mayor and Council to invite interested citizens to submit their applications for vacancies.  The Town will accept applications for the vacancies through the end of April 2006. This deadline may be extended, if necessary.

Unless Council directs staff otherwise, applications received will be distributed in early April to boards and commissions for their consideration of applicants.  By late April, applicable boards and commissions would provide their appointment recommendations to the Council.

The Town Council Procedures Manual provides that appointments to boards and commissions may occur at each of the four regular meetings in May and June.

Adoption of the attached resolution would set the schedule for these nominations and appointments.
