§ 77931 Commission Vacancy Filling Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone on the commission leaves or can't do the job anymore, the rest of the group picks a new person to fill the spot.
  • •The new person has to finish the time left in the term, not start a whole new term.
  • •The new person must have the same qualifications as the person they are replacing.

Example

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

The rest of the commission members vote to pick a new person who lives in the city to take over the empty spot until the term ends.
