FROM: John R. Klaus ,f CITY CLERK
CITY OF AMES,IOWA
DATE: February 23, 1989
RE: Measures to Simplify Appointments and
Reappointments to Boards and Commissions
Attached are four measures prepared in furtherance of our conversations
on the complications to making Mayoral appointments caused by the
reappointment limitations and the specific procedures set for Council
advice and consent. These measures will afford Council the opportunity
to review and, if it wishes, remove some or all of those complications.
First, there is a resolution to remove the limits on reappointments
contained in a motion and resolution that created a variety of
committees and groups.
Second, is a resolution to repeal the specific appointment procedure set
by resolution 78-43 in February of 1978 for groups not created by
ordinance.
Third is an ordinance to remove reappointment limits by repealing and
re-enacting without such limits several sections of the Municipal Code
that create Boards and Commissions.
Fourth is an ordinance to repeal section 2. 10 of the Municipal Code to
remove the appointment procedure for ordinance created Boards that
correspond to the resolution 78-43 procedure for non-ordinance groups.
