Who serves on the CDP action committee and for how long

(a) The CDP action committee shall consist of nine members. All members shall have a principal residence in the area covered by the CDP. The determination of “principal residence” shall be in accordance with criteria described in chapter 19, section 19- 71(e) of this Code, however, there is no requirement that a member own property. The members shall be appointed by the mayor and approved by the County council. Prior service as a member of a CDP steering committee shall not disqualify an individual from serving on the CDP action committee. (b) The members shall serve staggered terms of four years. Upon the initial appointment of the committee, three members shall serve for a term of two years, three members for a term of three years, and three members for a term of four years. When the term of a member expires, the member may, at the discretion of the member, continue to serve until a successor is appointed. Members whose terms expire may not be reappointed for at least two years, however, members appointed for one year or less may be reappointed for an additional term without the passage of two years’ time. Existing vacant positions shall be filled before filling any position occupied by a member whose term has expired but who is willing to continue serving until their position is filled. (c) The membership should reflect a broad cross-section of the community. The community development plan may specify more detailed selection criteria consistent with this objective. (d) A chairperson shall be elected from its membership annually. (e) Except as provided for in this section, the committee shall be governed by the County Charter, section 13-4.
