such term. All terms shall begin on the same date as City Councilmember terms as provided in section 400 of the Charter. c) If a member of a board or commission absents himself or herself from two (2) regular meetings of such board or commission, consecutively, unless by permission of such board or commission expressed in its official minutes, or fails to attend at least one-half (1/2) of the regular meetings of such board or commission within a calendar year, or is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, or ceases to be a qualified elector of the City, the office shall become vacant and shall be so declared by the City Council. d) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the members of such boards and commissions shall serve for a term of four (4) years and until their respective successors are appointed or qualified, but in no event shall any persons be eligible for reappointment who has served three (3) consecutive terms of four (4) years each, irrespective of what seat or seats the member is appointed to by the City Council. Notwithstanding the foregoing, one seat shall be a city-wide seat having a two (2) year term which coincides with that of the Mayor, and which shall be limited to four (4) consecutive terms. Short or partial terms (as defined for City Council in Section 401 of the Charter) shall not be considered. Unless otherwise provided by ordinance of the City Council for a board or commission having more or less than seven (7) members, the terms of three (3) of the members of each such board or commission shall begin on the date of the beginning of the term of office of council members elected at every second general election commencing with the April, 1983 general election, the terms of three (3) other members shall begin on the date of the beginning of the term of office of council members elected at every second general election commencing with the November, 1984 general election, and one (1), as designated by the City Council, shall coincide with the term of the mayor. It is the intent of this section that the term of office on boards and commissions shall be concurrent with the term of office of council members. Thereafter, any appointment to fill an unexpired term shall be for such an unexpired period. No person shall be eligible for appointment to a board or commission who completed a term on the City Council immediately preceding that board or commission term. (e) For boards and commissions with at least seven (7) members, the City Council shall designate six (6} board and commission seats by ward, and one city-wide. These designations shall be solely for the purpose of nominations and calculations of terms as provided in this Section 2-326. Ordinance No. NS-XXXX Page 7 of 31 11 A-51
