Regarding commissioner's term, one approach, detailed below, would be to establish new terms with some variation to assure an appropriate rotational replacement schedule. Another approach would be to appoint the commissioners consistent with their current tern. As an example, if Commissioner A is appointed and has two years left on a current term and is eligible for a second four year term, he/she would be eligible for serving six years on the new commission. POTENTIAL COMMISSION TERM SCHEDULE ASSUMING NEW APPOINTMENTS Newly Appointed Potential/ End First Term I End Second Term Full Term Commissioner Hypothetical Appointment Date Commissioner 1 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 October 1, 2018 6 Years Commissioner 2 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 October 1, 2018 6 Years Commissioner 3 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 May 1, 2019 6.5 Years Commissioner 4 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 May 1, 2019 6.5 Years Commissioner 5 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 October 1, 2019 7 Years Commissioner 6 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 May 1, 2020 8 Years Commissioner 7 October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 May 1, 2020 8 Years Alternate October 1, 2012 October 1, 2016 May 1, 2020 8Years Commissioner This option provides a quick approach for transitioning to the new commission and puts all Commissioners on equal footing in terms of pursuing appointment to the new commission. It also potentially extends beyond eight years the terms of some current commissioners. The option would however, reduce/end the term of those commissioners who were not appointed to the new commission with time left in their term. . Option 4 — Select the three regular members from the Housing Commission and four regular members from the Human Services Commission with the longest remaining terms and "transfer" their current term to the new commission. The Alternate position could either be appointed by the Mayor subject to approval by the City Council or be one of the current Housing Commissioners, including the Alternate Commissioner. In the event that those commissioners with the longest terms are not interested in serving on the new commission, those with the next longest remaining term would be selected. This action would assure continuity with current members and retain a long term transitional process related to reappointments. The option does not assure that those selected have the most interest in the new commission but it accommodates those that are uninterested in serving. Staff agrees with the Commission's perspective that Options One and Two represent lengthy timelines that will be difficult to coordinate and may limit the new commissions focus. Page - 3 -
