subject: Notification of Board and Committee Term Vacancies
date: January 26, 2008
The purpose of this report is to establish a schedule for nominations and appointments to boards and commissions and to the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership Board of Directors, and the Orange Water and Sewer Authority Board of Directors, for terms that expire on June 30, 2009.
In accordance with the Town Council Procedures Manual, we have compiled a list of board and commission appointments that will expire on June 30, 2009: a total of 80 term expirations or current vacancies are expected on this date. Thirteen of these board and commission members are ineligible for reappointment because they have served two consecutive full terms on the same board or commission, under Council procedures. 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 April 2009. 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 appointments to boards and commissions can occur at each of the four regular meetings in May and June.
That the Council adopt the attached resolution to establish the schedule for these nominations and appointments
