The Mayor shall, with the confirmation of the City Council,
appoint the members of authorities, boards, commissions and committees
of the City. If the City Council fails to act on the appointment(s)
within 30 days of the Mayor's recommendation, the appointment(s) shall
be deemed approved. All such appointments shall serve at the pleasure
of the Mayor except where a definite term has been established by
law. If a vacancy occurs, the Mayor shall recommend a candidate to
fill such vacancy within 90 days. If after 90 days the Mayor fails
to nominate or fill any position, the City Council shall make the
appointment to fill the vacancy.
Appointees shall be a City resident for at least one year prior
to appointment and shall be at least 18 years of age, unless the position
is governed by in the Pennsylvania Municipal Authorities Act, which
shall then prevail.
