§ 77757 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 could do.
  • •If both the main member and their backup can't go, another backup from the same area can step in.
  • •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 and your friend are on a school team, and your friend has a backup. If your friend gets sick and can't go to the big game, the backup plays instead and has the same job as your friend.

This law works the same way. If a main member of the group can't do their job, their backup steps in and does everything the main member would have done.

§ 77757 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. An alternate member, in the absence of the member for whom he or she is an alternate, shall serve in place of the member and shall exercise all of the rights, privileges, and powers of the member when serving on the commission. In addition, if a member and his or her alternate are absent, any other alternate from the same district may serve in place of the member, and shall exercise all of the rights, privileges, and powers of the member when serving on the commission. If 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 or appointed. (Amended by Stats. 1995, Ch. 130, Sec. 36. Effective July 18, 1995.)
