Chapter 2 of the <br />Eugene Code addresses standing committees to the City Council and the appointment process for each body. <br />For most standing committees created in the code, council is the appointing authority. <br /> <br />The annual recruitment for boards, committees and commissions was initiated on January 15, 2012, and <br />concluded on March 30, 2012. The recruitment was publicized on the Internet, through press releases, <br />council newsletter items, at City offices, and at City- and neighborhood-related meetings and events. <br /> <br />Members of the council were provided with copies of the applications. From this, the council selected <br />those persons who were to be considered as finalists and who were subsequently interviewed by the <br />council. If an applicant received five or more votes to be reappointed or appointed, that person’s name <br />was automatically placed in nomination for formal appointment. <br /> <br />The City Council appoints members to the Budget Committee, Civilian Review Board, Human Rights <br />Commission, Planning Commission, Sustainability Commission, Toxics Board and Whilamut Natural Area <br />Citizen Planning Committee. <br /> <br />The terms for these boards, committees and commissions will begin on July 1, 2012. <br /> <br /> <br />RELATED CITY POLICIES <br />The boards, committees and commissions serve as advisory bodies to the City Council in the development <br />of various city policies. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />S:\CMO\2012 Council Agendas\M120611\S1206115.doc <br /> <br />
