POLICY AND PROCEDURE FOR APPOINTMENT OF COLTON CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS TO INTER -GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES In order to facilitate and expose the different members of the Colton City Council to the varied and different inter -governmental agency ("Agency" or "Agencies") appointments, the following rotating Agency appointment policy shall be adopted: The City Council shall select the inter -governmental Agencies to which the Mayor and Council Members will be appointed. All appointments will be for a term of two (2) years or until the expiration of the elected official's term of office, whichever occurs sooner. All appointments, except for appointments requiring a particular elected official(s), shall be made on a rotational basis. The appointments will rotate from the Mayor, to the Council Member from District 1, to the Council Member from District 2, to the Council Member from District 3, to the Council Member from District 4, to the Council Member from District 5, and to the Council Member from District 6, respectively. Appointments which require the designation of alternates shall follow the same rotation, with the next Council Member in succession being appointed as alternate. For example, if the Council Member from District 2 is appointed to an Agency which requires an alternate, the Council Member from District 3 would be appointed as alternate. In no manner is the appointment policy intended to compel or pressure the Mayor or Council Members to accept a rotating Agency appointment. The Mayor and Council Members shall have the option to decline any Agency appointment, due to prior commitments, conflicts or other personal or business reasons. If the Mayor or Council Members decline the rotating Agency appointment, the appointment shall rotate to the next elected official on the rotation list. Following the adoption of this policy, the rotating Agency appointment cycle for each separate appointment position shall begin from the elected official who last held that specific appointment. For example, the Council Member from District 5 currently holds the appointment to the Solid Waste Advisory Task Force, so if this policy is adopted, the Council Member from District 6 would be the next candidate to be appointed to this Agency. Additionally, the fact that new elected officials will periodically be elected shall not alter the rotating Agency appointments. RVPUB\CZC\646206
