On March 7, 2023, the City Council introduced for first reading Ordinance No. 01 (2023) that would:
1. Increase the amount of time for a Council Member to make a new Commission appointment to fill a vacancy from 30 days to 60 days; and
2. Change the terms of office for Commissioners from “even-numbered” to “oddnumbered” years to better align with and follow the current general municipal election schedule of the City Council.
