SEC. 2.50. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS GENERALLY. All Board and Commission appointments authorized by ordinance or resolution shall be made by the Mayor, and such appointment confirmed prior to expiration of the existing term. The term of each appointee shall be established and stated at the time of his appointment, and terms of present Board and Commission members may be reestablished and changed so as to give effect to this Section. New appointees shall assume office on the first day of the first month following their appointment and qualification, or on the first day of the first month following the expiration of the prior term and qualification, whichever shall occur last. Provided, however, that all appointees to Board and Commissions shall hold office until their successor is appointed and qualified. All vacancies shall be filled in the same manner as for an expired term, but the appointment shall be only for the unexpired term. No appointed Board or Commission member shall be an employee of the City, but an ex officio member may be so employed. All appointed Board and Commission members shall serve without remuneration, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of their duties when such expenses have been authorized by the Council before they were incurred. The Chairman and the Secretary shall be chosen from and by the Board or Commission membership annually to serve for one year. Provided, however, that no Chairman shall be elected who has not completed at least one year as a member of the Board or Commission. Any Board or Commission member may be removed by the Council for misfeasance, malfeasance or non-feasance in office and his position filled as any other vacancy. Each Board and Commission shall hold its regular meeting at a time established and approved by the Council. The City Administrator shall be an ex officio member of all Boards and Commissions; provided, that if he is unable to attend a meeting or act in the capacity of such membership, he may be represented by his assistant or some person duly authorized by him. Except as otherwise provided, this Section shall apply to all Boards and Commissions.
