This individual is <br />welcome to serve on one committee at a time. <br />(C)Appointments. <br />(1)Each member of the Committee will be appointed by the City Council via a letter of interest <br />submitted to the City Administrator. This letter will be received by the City Administrator no <br />later than November 1 of each year. This same action will take place if a vacancy should <br />happen. On an annual basis, the City Administrator would ascertain those who desire to remain <br />on the Committee. <br />(2)Seven members shall be appointed to each City Committee. <br />(D)Appointment of officers. At the first meeting of the year, the Committee will appoint by majority vote a <br />Chair and a Vice-Chair. <br />15 ΋tğŭĻ <br /> <br />
