3.70.150 - Executive Director.
A. There shall be an Executive Director, appointed by the Commission. The position of Executive Director shall be exempt from the classified civil service. The term for the Executive Director position is six years.
B. Each Executive Director's initial appointment is subject to confirmation by the City Council. Reappointment of an Executive Director to successive terms by the Commission is not subject to Council confirmation. If an individual who previously served as Executive Director is again appointed after a different individual was confirmed as Executive Director by the City Council, that new appointment is subject to City Council confirmation as an initial appointment.
C. If an individual is reappointed to a successive term as Executive Director within 60 days prior to or 60 days after the expiration of that individual's term, the ensuing term begins on the date the prior term expired. If an individual is reappointed to a successive term as Executive Director more than 60 days prior to or 60 days after the expiration of that individual's term, the new term begins on the date of reappointment by the Commission unless the Commission chooses, at the time of reappointment, to make the new term begin on the date the prior term expires or expired.
D. Notwithstanding anything else in this section, the Commission may remove its Executive Director for cause upon a majority vote of its membership.
