§ 68055 Commission Vacancy Filling Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone leaves the commission (like quits, dies, or can't do the job anymore), the commission picks a new person to take their spot.
  • •The new person must meet all the rules to be on the commission, just like the person they're replacing.
  • •The commission's secretary checks if the new person is qualified. If not, they tell the commission.

Example

A member of the city planning commission moves out of the city, so they can't be on the commission anymore.

The commission will vote to pick a new member who lives in the city and meets all the other rules. The secretary checks to make sure the new person is qualified before they can join.
