When the City Council Must Confirm Temporary Appointments

(a) Filling of temporary vacancies in excess of 120 calendar days. The mayor is authorized to fill temporary vacancies on boards, commissions, or committees for which the mayor has been initially authorized by Charter, law, or ordinance to make an original appointment on boards, commissions, or committees when a regularly appointed member of a board, commission, or committee is: (1) Ill; (2) Incapacitated; (3) Out of the State; or (4) When such office becomes temporarily vacant for any other reason in excess of 120 calendar days; provided such temporary appointee shall be subject to confirmation by the council as provided in Charter § 3-107.9 (public hearing). (b) No reappointment. The mayor shall not reappoint the same temporary appointee who has been appointed to fill a temporary vacancy on boards, commissions, or committees in excess of 120 calendar days on the same boards, commissions, or committees upon the expiration of the initial temporary appointment. (c) Date of termination. In any message from the mayor stating that the temporary vacancy is to be filled in excess of 120 calendar days, the mayor shall state the date of termination of such appointment. (d) No confirmation of council necessary—when. When the mayor fills a temporary vacancy on boards, commissions, or committees pursuant to this section, no confirmation by the council is necessary where the Charter does not require confirmation by the council of original appointees of the mayor on such boards, commissions, or committees. )
