ISSUE STATEMENT
This is an action item to appoint members to the Budget Committee and Human Rights Commission.
BACKGROUND
Each year, the council makes appointments to boards, committees and commissions. Chapter 2 of the
Eugene Code addresses standing committees to the City Council and the appointment process for each
body. For most standing committees created in the code, the council is the appointing authority.
The annual recruitment for boards, committees and commissions was initiated on January 17,
2011, and concluded on March 31, 2011. The recruitment was publicized on the Internet,
through press releases, council newsletter items, at City offices, and at City- and neighborhood-
related meetings and events.
Members of the council were provided with copies of the applications. From this, the council
selected those persons who were to be interviewed. If an applicant received five or more votes to
be reappointed or appointed, that person’s name was automatically placed in nomination for
formal appointment.
Due to scheduling conflicts, several candidates for the Budget Committee and Human Rights
Commission were unavailable for the first round of interviews. A second round of interviews was
held on June 16.
The terms for most boards, committees and commissions will begin on July 1, 2011.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
The boards, committees and commissions serve as advisory bodies to the City Council in the
development of various city policies.
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The City Council has the following options:
1. Appoint applicants who have been nominated;
2. Appoint other applicants from the pool, or
3. Seek additional candidates for these positions.
