ORDINANCE NO. j.533
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME SPECIFYING THAT CANDIDATES
FOR APPOINTMENT TO CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS MUST BE
REGISTERED VOTERS OF THE CITY WHEN APPLYING FOR APPOINTMENT AND
CLARIFYING THAT MEMBERS OF CITY BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS ARE
APPOINTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. The City has usually required that persons serving on boards and commissions
in the City must be registered voters in the City; however, it has not been clear that those persons
must also be registered voters at the time that they seek appointment to the board or commission.
This ordinance is intended to clarify this as to the boards and commissions provided in the Municipal
Code. The current code indicates that the mayor nominates candidates to boards and commissions
for council approval. However, the City has used an open application process that seeks applicants
from whom the Council appoints the members of the boards and commissions. This ordinance is
intended to confirm that process.
Section 2. Section 3.22.010 [Traffic, Safety and Parking Commission] is amended to read
as follows:
3.22.Ala
Organization —Terms of members —Compensation.
There shall be a commission of traffic, safety and parking in the city consisting of seven
members, appointed by the council. Their term of office shall be for a peri
od of three years and until
their successors are appointed and qualified. At the time of their application for the commission and
throughout their terms as commissioners, they shall be registered, qualified electors of the city. The
members shall serve without compensation, but all necessary expenses incurred by them while acting
in their official capacities shall be paid by appropriate council action.
