§ 2-206. Qualifications, requirements for membership on advisory boards.

Except those advisory boards for which the enabling resolution provides otherwise, each advisory board shall consist of seven (7) members appointed by majority vote of the board. A person is eligible for appointment to an advisory board only if he or she meets the following criteria:

(1)

The person must reside in the county (unless, with respect to a particular appointee, this requirement is waived by a vote of five (5) members of the board);

(2)

The person must be a registered voter (unless, with respect to a particular appointee, this requirement is waived by a vote of five (5) members of the board);

(3)

The person must have an interest in the sphere of activity covered by the particular advisory board;

(4)

The person, except for a member of the board or the county chairman, must have submitted to the general services department a completed application on the required form prior to consideration for appointment by the MMRB (unless, with respect to a particular appointee, this requirement is waived by a vote of five (5) members of the board, in which case the appointee must complete and submit the application form promptly after being appointed);

(5)

The appointment shall not result in the person serving on more than two (2) advisory boards concurrently (unless, with respect to a particular appointee, this restriction is waived by a vote of five (5) members of the board).

(6)

The person is not a full-time employee of the board; provided, however, that a board employee who is assigned to board membership as part of his specific occupational assignment with the county may serve upon an advisory board as a voting member. The term "full-time employee" shall here mean any person for whom contribution is made by the board to the state retirement system or any successor retirement system. However, a full-time employee of the board may sit with any advisory board and serve such board in a staff or consultant capacity.

In addition to the foregoing requirements, the board shall endeavor to have advisory boards be representative of the demographic makeup of the county.
