IV. BACKGROUND
Every two years after the municipal election, most Commission, Committee and Board (CCB) appointments expire.
As unscheduled vacancies arise or CCB members are frequently absent, it is best practice to consider new appointments.
Invitations to submit a CCB appointment application for all interested person(s) were posted in accordance to the Maddy Act. Applications for individuals requesting appointments were previously provided under separate cover to the Mayor and City Council.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
None. Funds for CCB stipends are already budgeted for Fiscal Year 2019-2020.
