Upon leaving elected office the City <br /> Council shall appoint other members of Council to those committees with <br /> Councilmember participating as voting members. <br /> (iii) be eligible for reappointment upon application to the City Council, but the <br /> City Council shall encourage new applicants in order to promote <br /> widespread community involvement.

These term limits <br /> do not constrain a resident from being appointed as an associate member <br /> of that Committee, nor from applying for appointment to any other Town <br /> Committee. <br /> A Committee member's record of attendance at the Committee's meetings <br /> may be a factor in determining whether that member should be <br /> reappointed to the Committee. <br /> Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City Council retains the ability to <br /> appoint anyone that it may select by majority vote for membership on a <br /> Town Committee. <br /> (iv) be considered to have resigned in the event of three consecutive absences <br /> from the meetings of their Committee, unless the Chairperson of the <br /> Resolution 53-17 Page 2 <br />
