Title
Notice of Upcoming Expiration Dates for the Terms of Office for Members of the Greenbelt Advisory Commission, Environmental Commission, and Independent Community Police Oversight Commission during 2020
Memorandum
In accordance with the ordinances referenced below, the City Clerk is informing the City Council of the upcoming expiration dates of the terms of office for members of the Greenbelt Advisory Commission, Environmental Commission, and Independent Community Police Oversight Commission. The appointment process for these commissions differs from the majority of commissions, as appointment to these commissions does not require a mayoral nomination.

“The City Clerk shall notify City Council at least 45 days prior to the expiration date of the term of office of any person serving on GAC. The City Council shall place on the table the name of all reappointments no later than 60 days after the expiration date of the term of office.”
