RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR ADVISORY BOARD AND
COMMISSIONS APPOINTMENT PREFERENCE
WHEREAS, the City Council has established from time to time Boards and
Commissions to serve in an advisory capacity to the City Council; and
WHEREAS, annually there are usually more volunteers to serve on Advisory
Boards and Commissions than there are openings to fill; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City Council to seek and involve citizens as a
way of adding citizen input in the policy process; and
WHEREAS, Advisory Boards and Commissions are established with a portion of
the membership terms to expire each year to afford an opportunity for citizens who have
not previously served or may have some break in the continuity of service to be
considered for appointment; and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to have some change in the membership from time to
time to encourage volunteerism and to facilitate broad community representation.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Richfield, as follows:
1. That it shall be the policy of the City Council, except as otherwise provided
by State Statutes and City Ordinances, where there are more applicants
than openings, preferences will generally be for reappointments to second
terms over new applicants and for new applicants over reappointments to
third terms.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Richfield, Minnesota this 11th day of
February, 2019.
