Exhibit D - Replaced - See Resolution 2007-057 Nunc Pro Tunc Exhibit D Sec. 901. Appointments, removals, vacancies, terms. (a) Except as otherwise specified in this charter, the member of each of the appointive boards and commissions shall be appointed, and may be removed, by the city council, subject in both appointment and removal by the affirmative votes of a majority of the members. For boards or commissions having at least seven (7) members, the city council shall select members from nominations made by the council member (or the mayor in the case of the city-wide seat) whose term coincides with that board or commission seat, (as determined by the city council in accordance with subsection (e), below), together with nominations from any other member of the council. All other appointments shall be as determined by this charter, or by the city council from time to time. (b) Vacancies from whatever cause arising shall be filled in the same manner. Upon a vacancy occurring leaving an unexpired portion of a term, any appointment to fill such vacancy shall be for the unexpired portion of such term. All terms shall begin on the same date as city council member terms as provided in section 400 of this charter. (c) If a member of a board or commission absents himself from three (3) regular meetings of such board or commission, consecutively, unless by permission of such board or commission expressed in its official minutes, or is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, or ceases to be a qualified elector of the city, his 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 and qualified, but in no event shall any person be eligible for reappointment who has served two (2) 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 ~(4) four year term which coincides with that of the Mayor, and which shall be limited to three (3) consecutive terms of two (2) years oach. Short or partial terms (as defined for city council in Section 401 of this 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 Resolution No. 2007-057 Page 8 of 9
