Terms of Commission Members
San Diego Municipal Code § 26.1104
in effect§26.1104 Terms of Commission Members
(a) Members serve two-year terms and until a successor is appointed, except that 12 of the 25 members first appointed will initially serve a one-year term, so that the terms of no more than 13 members expire in any year. Following the first Council appointments to the Commission, the City Clerk will administer a random drawing to determine which of the 25 members will initially serve a one-year term.
(b) All terms begin upon appointment and end on June 30 of the applicable year.
(c) The City Clerk must maintain a record of the members and their terms and regularly make this information available to the Council and the public.
(d) The Council President, with the assistance of the Executive Director, will timely schedule Council consideration of new appointments to ensure that the Commission positions remain filled.
(e) Members can serve no more than four two-year terms consecutively. However, members whose terms of service have expired must continue to serve until their successor is appointed, even if the total time served extends beyond the maximum permissible length of service. If for any reason a member serves a partial term in excess of one-half of a full term, that partial term will be considered a full term for the purpose of the member’s term limitation of four consecutive terms.
