The purpose of this chapter is to establish a uniform procedure
pertaining to the appointment of members to appointive bodies where
the Board of Supervisors is the appointing agency. It is the objective
of this chapter to insure equal representation to all citizens of
this county by appointive bodies.
(Ord. 781, 1976)
All appointments to appointive bodies shall be by a majority
vote of the Board of Supervisors. The term for each appointment shall
be for four years unless or until contrary to state or federal law.
Members shall hold their positions until their successors are duly
appointed and qualified.
(Ord. 781, 1976)
There is established a policy disfavoring automatic reappointment
of members upon the expiration of their term.
(Ord. 781, 1976)
Appointments to appointive bodies of county-wide jurisdiction
shall be so made to insure that all supervisorial districts are equally
represented by members of the appointive body. Upon reapportionment
of supervisorial districts, incumbents shall be allowed to complete
the term of office.
(Ord. 781, 1976)
A member of an appointed body included under this chapter may be removed or replaced by a majority vote of the Board of Supervisors. A replacement appointment shall conform to the requirements of § 2.04.020, if applicable.

list of the members of each body and the duration of their term.
(Ord. 781, 1976)
The county clerk shall furnish to the Board of Supervisors annually
in January a report setting forth the appointive bodies and their
members with terms which will expire during the ensuing year. Said
report shall state the name of the member, the appointive body, his
district and date of expiration of the term.
(Ord. 781, 1976)
It is the express intent of this board that any and all ordinances currently in effect in Merced County with provisions inconsistent with § 2.04.020 are hereby amended to conform with said section.
