A. The Community Planning Committee governing board, which shall be known as the Community Planning Committee, shall be composed of seven members to be selected by one of the following procedures, as directed by the City Council after hearing testimony at the public hearing as provided in CVMC 2.48.050:

B. In order to qualify for membership on the Community Planning Committee, it shall be required that Committee members be at least 18 years of age and an elector in the community planning area at the time of their appointment or election and shall be nominated by a petition signed by 20 electors of the territory. Committee members shall serve for two-year terms; provided, however, that the initial Committee members shall upon election or appointment draw lots to provide that initially four of the Committee members shall serve for a term of two years and three of the Committee members shall serve for a term of one year. Upon its formation, the Community Planning Committee shall select from among its members a chair, vice-chair, secretary, and treasurer, who shall serve for a period of one year from the date of the initial meeting. The Community Planning Committee shall possess those powers and duties set forth herein. They shall conduct their meetings in public at a regularly scheduled time and place to be designated by the Community Planning Committee and shall be subject to all rules and regulations related to the conduct of the public’s business as contained in the Government Code of the state; provided, however, that they shall not be required to publish notices of public hearings except in those cases where it is determined by the Committee that the public interest would be best served by said publication.

C. The City Council may review the procedures established by this chapter or the method of operation of a Community Planning Committee after a period of not less than one year from the date of formation of the first Community Planning Committee in the City, in order to make such changes and modifications as may be deemed necessary or desirable, e.g., change in method of selection of members of Committee by appointment to election of said members by the electors of the territory. Said review shall be undertaken at a public hearing to be called by the City Council. It is the intent of this provision to provide a sufficient test period for the operation of a Community Planning Committee. (Ord. 1968 § 1, 1982; Ord. 1367 § 1, 1971; prior code § 2.1005).
