A. The term of office for audit committee members is three years. There is no limit on the number of terms a member of the audit committee may serve. The members’ terms shall be staggered such that only one member’s three-year term concludes each year.

B. If a citizen member’s position on the audit committee becomes vacant, the chair of the budget committee shall appoint a replacement to serve the remainder of the vacated term.

C. If a council member’s position on the audit committee becomes vacant, the city council, by majority vote if not by unanimous consent, shall nominate one of its members to serve on the audit committee. The nomination shall occur at a regular or special meeting of the city council at which a quorum of the council is present. The chair of the budget committee shall promptly appoint the nominated council member to the audit committee. [BC 2.03.174, added by Ordinance No. 4623, 12/10/13]
