§ 79046 Commission Vacancy Replacement 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 take their spot.
  • •The new person has to finish the remaining time left in the term, not a full new term.
  • •The new person must meet all the same rules and requirements 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 remaining members of the commission will vote to pick a new person who lives in the city and meets all the rules to finish the term of the person who left.
