§ 2.132.030. Composition—Qualifications, appointment, term and filling vacancies.
Latest version.
The human relations commission shall consist of seventeen members, who shall be broadly
representative of the population of the general services district. On the basis of
recommendations from any and all interested parties, including the metropolitan council,
as well as ethnic, racial, religious, neighborhood, civic, community, social, fraternal,
educational, commercial and advocacy organizations, the mayor shall appoint the members
of the human relations commission, subject to confirmation by a majority vote of the
whole membership of the council. Except for the initial appointees, commission members
shall serve staggered three years terms. A commission member is not eligible to be
reappointed to the commission if such member has served more than one-half of a three
year term and a consecutive complete three year term. Of the initial members appointed,
six members shall be appointed for one year, six members shall be appointed for two
years, and five members shall be appointed for three years. Every member shall have
been a resident of the general services district for at least one year prior to appointment,
and shall continue to be a resident of the general services district so long as he/she
shall serve as a member of the commission. In the event a vacancy is created on the
commission by the death, incapacity, or resignation of a member, or by the failure
of a member to continue to reside in the general services district, a successor for
the unexpired term shall be appointed in the same manner as original appointments.
