Sec. 2.36.010. - Duties of commission, committee, and board members.
A. Commission, committee, and board members (hereinafter referred to as "Board Members") will represent
unconflicted loyalty to the interests of the citizens of Georgetown. This accountability supersedes any
conflicting loyalty such as that to advocacy or interest groups and membership on other boards or staffs. This
accountability supersedes the personal interest of any board member acting as an individual citizen of the
City. .
B. Unless otherwise specified by Federal law, State law, the City Charter, or other provisions of this Code of
Ordinances, appointed committees, commissions, and boards are advisory to the Council; they play a unique
and important role in this advisory capacity, assisting the Council to carry out its responsibilities for making
the decisions which shape City policy.
C. Each board member is responsible to come to meetings prepared to discuss the issues on the agenda.
D. Attendance by board members is integral to the board's success. It is Council policy to require a minimum
of 75 percent attendance of each board member. Excessive absenteeism will result in the board member being
replaced by the Council.
E. All board members appointed by the City Council shall comply with the provisions of the City's Ethics
Ordinance (Chapter 2.20 of the Georgetown Municipal Code), and the Texas Open Meetings Act.
F. Board members shall act and conduct themselves in a manner which will promote trust in their integrity,
impartiality, and their devotion to the best interests of the City. During board meetings, board members shall
preserve order and decorum and shall conduct themselves in a manner which will not, either by conversation
or activity, delay or interrupt the proceedings. Board members shall not indulge in personalities, use offensive
language, arraign the motives of members, charge deliberate misrepresentation, or use language tending to
hold any board members, Council Members, the public, or the staff, in contempt. Board members will comply
with the directions of the presiding office.
G. Board members shall vote on all items, except on matters involving personal interests or when he/she
believes that voting on a matter would create an appearance of impropriety. In these instances, the board
member may abstain. Any board member excused from voting for these reasons shall announce at the
commencement of consideration of the matter and shall refrain from discussion or debate on any such matter
and shall have previously filed an affidavit stating the conflict of interest. The board member, having briefly
stated the reason for his/her request, shall be excused from voting without debate.
H. Board members are encouraged to be active in discussions and activities of the board, seeking to be
innovative, creative, and freely sharing the skills and knowledge which prompted their appointment to the
board.
I. Communication between the Council and the committees, commissions, and boards is important to fulfilling
their purpose. Committees, commissions, and boards are encouraged to establish a liaison program for their
board to attend Council meetings relevant to their program, and to communicate with Council regarding
issues in their domain.
(Ord. No. 2007-64, § 5; Ord. No. 2002-20, § 2)
Sec. 2.36.020. - Qualifications.
A.It is the past practice and the present intent of the City Council of the City that Section 9.01 of the City
Charter (relating to Nepotism) shall not apply to appointments of persons to city boards, commissions, or
committees that are advisory only and that exercise no final authority on behalf of the City.
B.It is the intent of the City Council that as many persons as possible be invited to serve on the City's various
boards, committees and commissions. To that end, no person shall serve as a member of more than one board,
commission or committee if other qualified applicants are available to serve, unless the ordinance or bylaws
of one board, committee, or commission require the participation of a member from another board,
committee, or commission. If a person who serves on a board, committee or commission is appointed to
another board committee or commission before the end of his or her existing term, acceptance of the new
appointment shall operate as an automatic resignation from the position previously held. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the provisions of this subsection shall not apply to persons appointed by the City Council to ad hoc
or non -permanent advisory committees and such ad hoc committees may be comprised in whole or in part of
persons who serve on the City's standing boards, committees, and commissions.
C.City,employees are not eligible to serve as board, commission or committee members, unless otherwise
required by law or by the bylaws.
(Ord. No. 2004-41, § 2; Ord. No. 2002-47, § 2)
Editor's note— Prior to the reenactment of § 2.36.020 by Ord. No. 2002-47, Ord. No. 2001-19, § 2, adopted
February 27, 2001, repealed § 2.36.020, which pertained to the terms and membership of city commissions,
committees and boards and derived from Ord. 900021, § 2; Ord. 900212, § 2; Ord. 900464, § 2(part); Ord. 92-
3, § 4.
Sec. 2.36.030. - Beginning, ending date of terms.
A.Unless otherwise specified by the City Council, the term of office for all committees, boards, and
commissions of the City shall be two years in length with normal, yearly appointments made in February.
Unless otherwise specified by the City Council, no member shall serve more than two consecutive terms on
the same board, committee, or commission; provided however, that if a person is re -appointed after having
served two consecutive terms, that person's third term shall be limited to one year in length. Thereafter, the
person filling the position shall have a two-year term. In the case of a conflict between this section and
another ordinance or the bylaws of any City board, committee or commission, this section shall prevail. In the
case of a conflict between this section and state law, state law shall prevail.
B. All members shall continue to serve until reappointment for that position takes place.
C. Members of the City's commissions, committees, and boards shall be recommended by the Mayor and
appointed by a vote of the majority of the Council, unless otherwise provided by law. Should the Mayor fail to
make a recommendation, or should the Council fail to appoint a member recommended by the Mayor, a
majority of the Council plus one may make the appointment without a recommendation from the Mayor.
D. Annual new member orientation shall occur within two (2) weeks after the annual appoints are made to
each commission, committee, or board.
(Ord. No. 2007-16, § 2; Ord. No. 2002-20, § 3; Ord. 92-32 § 2, 1992: Ord. 900021 § 3)

A. Vacancies that arise during the year shall be filled as soon as reasonably possible and in the same manner
as described in Section 2.36.030 for original appointments.
B. Any person who is appointed to fill a vacated term of office that occurs at a time other than the annual
appointments will not have the initial appointed term count towards the maximum amount of terms allowed
