§ 30223 City Committee Member Recall

Key Takeaways

  • •If most of the city selection committee (more than 2/3) sign a paper asking to remove a board member, they must have a meeting about it.
  • •The board decides when and where the meeting happens and must tell everyone at least 10 days before.
  • •If not enough people show up to the meeting, they pick a new time and place to meet again.
  • •If they pick a new person to replace the one they want to remove, the old person is out, and the new person takes their spot.

Example

Imagine a group of people in a town who pick leaders for a big project. If most of them (more than 2/3) don’t like one leader and sign a paper saying so, they have to meet to talk about removing that leader.

The leaders set a time and place for the meeting and tell everyone 10 days early. If not enough people come, they reschedule. If they pick a new leader at the meeting, the old one is out, and the new one takes over.
