SUBJECT: BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS (Elioibility)
In your inguiry of March 20, 1996, you asked about the
applicability of the eligibility requirements found in Section
13-Y of the Charter to members of the Taa Board of Review.
The Taa Board of Review, originally created by State Law, is now
established under the authority of an ordinance, HCC §19-96.
The Charter, 13-4, in providing various qualifications for
membership, specifically limits itself to ..boards and
commissions specifically established by this Charter..."
As a general rule., regulations declaring qualifications for
office are liberally construed, while those establishing
disqualifications are to be strictly construed. McQuillin,
Mltniciaal Corporations, §12-58.
Accordingly, we are of the opinicn that the limitations that you
cite, particularly the one barring reappointment, do not apply
to members of the Taa Board of Review.
