COMMITTEE.
COMMISSION AND AGENDA
A. All appointments to city boards, commissions and committees whose members are not
subject to appointment by other entities, and in accordance with any applicable
restrictions by State Statute, shall be made in accordance with the following procedures:
All vacancies subject to appointment to such city boards, commissions and
committees shall be made on a nomination basis by each of the members of the City
Commission. This nomination shall be construed to be a Motion to Appoint, which
must be seconded by another member of the City Commission then present and
voting, and then adopted by an affirmative vote of no less than three (3) votes.
If a Commissioner makes a nomination/motion and this motion either fails for lack
of a second or does not receive a sufficient number of affirmative votes, then that
Commissioner shall have one additional opportunity to make a secondary
nomination for this vacancy at this same meeting or the next successive regular
meeting. If that appointment should also fail for lack of a second to the nomination
or by not receiving sufficient affirmative votes, then the nomination shall rotate to
the next appropriate Commissioner.
The rotation system shall be by numbered Commission seat and insofar as possible,
each Commission seat shall be assigned an equal number of initial appointments
from the date of adoption of these rules, i.e.:
Board A - Order of Rotation: Seat 1, Seat 2, Seat 3, Seat 4, Seat 5
Board B - Order of Rotation: Seat 2, Seat 3, Seat 4, Seat 5, Seat 1
Board C - Order of Rotation: Seat 3, Seat 4, Seat 5, Seat 1, Seat 2
A separate rotation list shall be established by the City Clerk's office for each such
City board, commission or committee, and the City Clerk's office shall maintain
records of the rotation list, the status of same, and the nominations made by each
Commissioner. In the instance where a vacancy is available at a City Commission
meeting where the Commissioner who is next on the rotation is absent, then the City
Commission shall postpone this appointment to the next regular meeting. Should
this Commissioner not be present at the subsequent meeting, then the nomination
ability shall pass to the next Commissioner on the rotation system present at that
meeting.
In the event that an individual, duly nominated and appointed to a board,
commission or committee by a Commissioner at a City Commission meeting, is
unable to accept or declines the appointment, for whatever reason, ~hen the
Commissioner who appointed the individual unable to serve shall have the
oppormmty to nominate a replacement appointee to fill the vacancy before the
nomination ability passes to the next Commissioner on the rotation system. Such
replacement appointment shall be made no later than the second regular meeting
subsequent to the meeting at which the declined appointment was made. If the
replacement appointment is not made within this time frame, then the nomination
ability shall pass to the next Commissioner on the rotation system.
5. Appointments for vacancies occurring on a board wherein the particular member
has, for whatever reason, not fulfilled their entire term of membership on that
particular board, commission or committee, shall be to complete the unexpired term
only.
6. The City Commission retains the right to waive these requirements by the affirmative
vote of no less than four (4) members of the City Commission under circumstances
that would be in the best interest of the City (or a unanimous vote if only three
members of the City Commission are present and voting on such motion).
7. These roles, when adopted, shall supersede any other general rules or local rules
which are inconsistent herewith, to the extent of such inconsistency.
Approved and adopted by the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach, Florida, at the Annual
Organizational Meeting held on March 25, 2004.
