Agenda 04/24/2018 Item #12A04/24/2018
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation that the Board consider an ordinance amending the Board’s general Advisory
Board Ordinance to institute term limits on advisory boards.
OBJECTIVE: To consider re-establishing term limits for advisory board members.
CONSIDERATIONS: During the General Communications portion of the Board’s April 10, 2018
regular meeting, Commissioner Taylor raised the question whether term limits for advisory boards should
be reinstituted. After some discussion, the Board directed that this matter be brought back on Executive
Summary for formal discussion by the Board.
By Ordinance No. 2009-16, the Board of County Commissioners eliminated the then practice of
term limits for advisory boards as follows:
“Section Seven is hereby amended to read as follows:
SECTION SEVEN: Term of Office.
A. Terms of office shall be staggered.
B. Terms of office for Board members shall be limited to two consecutive terms of service
on any one Board; provided, however, that appointment of a Board member to an initial
term of one year shall not be considered a "term of office" for purpose of the limitations
set forth in this section, and such members shall be entitled to serve two additional terms
if so appointed.
C. Appointments to fill a vacancy for the remainder or balance of a term of office shall be
considered a term of office for the purpose of the limitations set forth in subsection (b),
above, only if the remainder of the term to be served exceeds 50 percent of the full term.
D. By unanimous vote of the commission, the limitations set forth in subsection (b) above
may be waived.
E. Nothing set forth in this section shall prohibit any individual from being reappointed to a
board after a hiatus of two years.
F. B. All members of Boards created by the Commission shall serve at the pleasure of the
Commission and may automatically be removed by a majority vote of the quorum of the
Commission.”
Term limits for Advisory Boards had been in place since the first Advisory Board Ordinance was
enacted in 1986, with the above language largely in place from 1992 - 2009. Given the number of years
this version was in place, it was felt by the County Attorney that it might prove a model for the current
Board’s consideration of this issue. A history of these ordinance changes is included in the back-up to
this item.
FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated cost of advertising is $350.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: None at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board consider an ordinance amending the Board’s general Advisory
Board Ordinance to institute term limits on advisory boards.
