Charter Commission - Transcript of Meeting of July 12, 2000Page 14 of 45 <br />5. Should members of boards and commissions whose terms expire continue in office for ninety days if <br />successors have not been appointed and confirmed? <br />HERKES: Now wait, hold on – <br />RAY: That one struck me a little odd somehow, but I’m not sure just why though. <br />IRVINE: Leave ‘appointed if they have not been confirmed’. Obviously, they can’t be confirmed until <br />they’re appointed. <br />HERKES: ‘Should members of boards and commissions whose terms expire after’ – ‘After’ has to go in <br />there somewhere but I can’t figure out where to put it. <br />IRVINE: It made sense to me. <br />MARTIN: yes, looks fine. Move on. <br />RAY: Okay? <br />6. Should the safety coordinator’s office be abolished, and its duties and positions be transferred to the <br />department of civil service? <br />Seven’s a new one we need to vote on stand alone. <br />7. Should the directors of research and development and of parks and recreation be required to meet <br />minimum qualifications, should the title of chief engineer be changed to the "director of public works," <br />and should the qualifications for the managing director, planning director, manager of the department of <br />water supply, and director of public works be strengthened by requiring administrative experience? <br />Yes sir. <br />MARTIN: What would happen to the present people in these positions? Of course, we’re going to have <br />a new managing director more than likely, but parks and rec we’ve already had – you know. <br />RAY: Well, if they’ve been there, they would have had the administrative experience. <br />YUEN: Well, I think this takes effect on the beginning of the new Mayor’s term and all the old <br />department heads – their terms will expire. If they qualified, they would qualify for reappointment. If <br />they did not, they would not. <br />MARTIN: That’s true. <br />HERKES: If they qualify and they were reappointed. They could be. <br />YUEN: Right, if they were reappointed, if they met the qualifications, they could be reappointed. Yes, <br />they could be, certainly. <br />IRVINE: I guess I was wondering if, because it’s such a long sentence, that we should have semi-colons <br />after the major clauses. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 07-12-00.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
