RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME REVISING
PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTMENTS TO
CITY COMMISSIONS AND BOARDS TO ALLOW
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 16-2008 revised procedures to be used in the appointment of
citizens to City commissions and boards; and
WHEREAS, the City has recently encountered a few vacancies that occurred shortly after
appointments had been made to the same commission or board; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to provide that if a vacancy occurs shortly after an
application and interview process for a commission or board has occurred, the Council may appoint
from that previous process without going through a new application and interview process,
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED AND ORDERED:
1. The Procedures for Appointments to City Commissions and Boards are revised by adding
new paragraphs 3(e) and 3(f) as follows:
"e. If a vacancy on a board or commission occurs within six (6) months of the City
Council having received applications and conducted interviews for that same board
or commission, the City Council may elect to appoint a person to the newly vacant
seat from the applicants not appointed in that earlier process without receiving
further applications or conducting further interviews. However, at the Council's sole
discretion, the Council may instead elect to use the normal advertisement,
application, and interview procedure described in Sections 1 through 4 of these
Procedures. If more than six (6) months has passed since the last application and
interview process was conducted for that same board or commission, the City
Council will use the regular advertisement, application, and interview procedures
described in Sections 1 through 4 of these Procedures.
In any advertisement, application, and interview process for a mid-term vacancy on a
board or commission, the City Council may also add any seats on the same board or
commission whose terms of office are regularly scheduled to end within six (6)
months of the announcement of the vacancy. Currently serving members whose
terms are expiring will be informed of the dates for application. Each appointment
will then designate whether the appointment is for a full term vacancy or the partial
term, if any."
