12/4/2018 Orono, MN Code of Ordinances Sec. 2-206. - Appointments; removal. All board and commission appointments authorized by ordinance shall be made by the council at the first regular meeting in January of each year unless another appointment date is established elsewhere by ordinance. 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 immediately. All appointees to boards 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. In order to balance the need for consistency, with the desire to provide ongoing opportunities for new members, the council, in general, will reappoint commission members for up to two additional three-year terms beyond their initial three-year term. Any board or commission member may be removed by the council for any reason and his position filled as any other vacancy. Each board and commission shall hold its regular meetings at a time established and approved by the council. Boards and commissions created by resolution shall terminate when the purpose for which they were created has been accomplished or upon the expiration of their terms stated in the resolution. Except as otherwise provided, this section shall apply to all boards and commissions. (Code 1984, § 2.50; Ord. No. 115 2nd series, 5-24-1993) HE
