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, council is the appointing authority. The annual recruitment for boards, committees and commissions was initiated on January 22, 2013, and concluded on March 29, 2013. 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. Applicants who received five or more votes to be reappointed or appointed, were automatically placed in nomination for formal appointment. Those who received at least three votes in any category were invited for an interview. 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 may: 1. Appoint applicants who have been nominated; 2. Appoint other applicants from the pool, or 3. Seek additional candidates for these positions.
