There is hereby established a Human Services
Advisory Board which shall consist of seven members to be appointed
and removed by the City Council. The members shall serve for terms
of three years, except that of the first members appointed, three
shall be appointed for terms of three years, three shall be appointed
for terms of two years and one shall be appointed for a term of one
year. A member of the Board appointed to the Board to replace a member
whose term has not expired shall be appointed for the unexpired term
only. One of the appointed members must be between the ages of 18
and 21 years of age.
At its April meeting the Human Services Advisory
Board shall elect from its members a Chairman, Vice Chairman and Secretary.
The Human Services Advisory Board shall meet
as often as it deems necessary pursuant to its own rules of procedure,
but no less than once a month. It shall file a monthly report of its
activities and a financial statement with the City Council.
The Human Services Advisory Board shall have
such powers and duties as are assigned to it by statute, the Charter,
this chapter or other legislation of the City Council.
The primary responsibility of the Human Services
Advisory Board is to improve the delivery of health and social services
to our community and submit to the City Council any recommendations
which might serve to facilitate that responsibility.
Except where otherwise specifically provided
by statute, Charter or other legislation, a majority of the members
of the Human Services Advisory Board must be present to constitute
a quorum, and a majority vote of those members of the Board present
and voting is required for action. The Board may establish such rules
of procedure as it deems necessary, provided that no such rule shall
conflict with any other legislation.
