AGENDA #13e
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Joyce A. Smith, Town Clerk
SUBJECT: Appointments to the Housing and Community Development Advisory Board
DATE: June 26, 2000
Tonight, the Council may make appointments to three seats (vacant as of June 30, 2000) on the Housing and Community Development Advisory Board. The Housing and Community Development Board has requested that the term of Margaret Edwards be extended for another three-year term (see attached). Ms. Edwards has served two full terms.
Section II.F.c. of the Council’s Procedures Manual states:
“No one shall serve on an advisory board or commission for more than two consecutive full terms. Following a one-year absence, an individual is eligible to serve again on the same board or commission. The Council may reappoint an individual to a board or commission for an additional one-year term following two consecutive terms, by resolution for the purpose of completing ongoing projects.”
Based on the Council’s Procedures Manual, Ms. Edwards is ineligible to serve another three-year term, but may be appointed to a one-year term.
Adoption of the attached resolution would extend Ms. Edwards’ term for one additional year, to expire on June 30, 2001. If the Council chooses to extend Ms. Edwards’ term, then only two seats would be available for appointment this evening.
A recommendation from the Board and copies of the applications are attached.
