§ 77546 Commission Alternate Member Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •Each main member of the group gets a backup person chosen the same way and for the same time.
  • •If the main member can't go to a meeting, the backup takes their place and can do everything the main member can.
  • •If the main member can't be in the group anymore (like if they quit or aren't allowed), the backup becomes the main member until someone new is picked.

Example

Imagine you're on a school team, and you have a backup player.

If you can't go to a game, your backup plays instead and has the same job as you. If you leave the team, your backup becomes the main player until the coach picks someone new.

§ 77546 Commission Alternate Member Rules

An alternate member to each member of the commission, except the ex officio members, shall be elected or appointed in the same manner and for the same term as the member. Except as provided in Section 77551, an alternate member shall, in the absence of the member for whom he or she is an alternate, serve in the place of the member and shall have and exercise all of the rights, privileges, and powers of the member when serving on the commission. In the event the status of a member changes thereby making the member ineligible to serve, or in the event of the death, removal, resignation, or disqualification of a member, the alternate member shall act as a member of the commission until a qualified successor is elected. (Added by Stats. 1990, Ch. 550, Sec. 1. Effective August 27, 1990.)
