Commission Facts

• Commissioners and Boardmembers are volunteer positions and will serve without compensation.
• With staff liaison approval, Commissioners and Boardmembers may be reimbursed for their reasonable and necessary costs and expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties.
• Elected officials are not eligible to serve on any commission or board.
• It is customary for Commissioners and Boardmembers to serve on one Commission at a time. Should there be an insufficient amount of applicants for the Board of Building Appeals, Resolution No. 5702 authorizes the City Council to appoint qualified members of Boards and Commissions to serve concurrently on the Board of Building Appeals, as well. 
• Per Resolution 24-0026, adopted March 19, 2024, the membership of the PPIC was amended to include four Member At- Large seats and one Business Community Seat. The previous membership structure required two Business Community seats. 

** Members appointed to fill a vacancy with less than 18 months remaining in the term are automatically reappointed to a three-year term without additional City Council action.

*** If a vacant seat had 18 months or more remaining in its original term, the member would complete the original term and then be eligible for reappointment to one succeeding three-year term.
