§ 17-193. Membership.

(a)

The city council shall appoint nine (9) persons to the stormwater management advisory committee. The membership shall include three (3) members from geographically diverse neighborhoods, three (3) members from businesses or not-for-profit organizations, and three (3) members with engineering or scientific training, vocational experience, or a strong personal interest in environmental management or preservation. All members shall reside within the city limits.

(b)

All members shall serve a term of three (3) years except that the city council, in appointing the original membership of the committee, may prescribe terms of fewer years so that the terms of the various members of stormwater management advisory committee shall be staggered. Members may be reappointed for a second consecutive term. After two (2) consecutive terms a member shall be ineligible for reappointment until one (1) calendar year has elapsed from the date of termination of the second term.

(c)

The city council may remove any member of the stormwater management advisory committee for just cause, as may be permitted by law. The city council shall provide the member with a public hearing, if requested.

(d)

If any member of the stormwater management advisory committee shall fail to attend three (3) consecutive regular meetings of the committee within any one (1) year, it will be sufficient grounds for termination of the member's appointment. The chair or the vice-chair, as the case may be, shall immediately file a notification of such nonattendance with the city council for placement on the council agenda. The city council may, by appropriate action, terminate the appointment of such person and fill the vacancy as soon as possible.

(e)

The city manager shall appoint a recording secretary to serve the stormwater management advisory committee. The secretary shall keep minutes to summarize all proceedings, all attested to by a majority of the members of the stormwater management advisory committee voting. Minutes of the proceedings of the stormwater management advisory committee showing the vote of each member and records of its examinations and other official actions shall be filed in the office of the committee as a public record. The city manager shall designate one (1) city department as the office of the committee for purposes of this subsection. In addition, the secretary shall maintain all records of stormwater management advisory committee meetings, hearings and proceedings, as well as the correspondence of the stormwater management advisory committee.

(f)

The city manager shall assign the professional staff of the stormwater management advisory committee.
