Charter Amendment CC amended portions of Section <br />901 of the Charter related to membership on boards and commissions. <br /> <br />Subsection (e) of Section 901, as amended, requires the City Council to <br />formally designate seven seats on all boards, commissions and <br />committees. Six of the seats are to be designated by ward and the <br />respective members will be nominated by the councilmember representing <br />that ward, and one seat is designated as a city-wide seat to be <br />nominated by the Mayor. <br /> <br />The primary purpose of this amendment to Charter Section 901 was to <br />formalize the long-standing Council practice of nominating and <br />appointing board and commission seats by ward. The Clerk of the <br />Council has for many years maintained the rosters of the boards and <br />commissions with such designation. The ward designations outlined in <br />Exhibi t A of the attached resolution reflect the current roster of <br />members and are enumerated solely for the purpose of calculation of <br />terms as provided in the revised Charter Section 901. The terms of <br />office for all the incumbents listed in the Exhibit for Wards 2, 4, and <br />6 have expired, and the respective councilmembers would have to re- <br />nominate the incumbent listed or make a new appointment for the terms <br />beginning following the 2006 election. The terms for the incumbents <br />listed in Exhibit A for Wards 1, 3, and 5 will expire in 2008. <br /> <br />550-1 <br />
