AI Summary

  • Agencies created after July 1, 2012 must have their board of commissioners elected by qualified electors rather than appointed by the mayor, with boards consisting of 3-9 commissioners.

  • Board commissioners may not hold any other elective office of the city or county except for elected precinct committeemen, and terms must be staggered so the majority of commissioners do not expire in the same year.

  • Commissioners serve terms not exceeding 4 years, with elections held during the next available election cycle pursuant to Idaho Code section 34-106.

  • During the period between voter authorization and the election of commissioners, the mayor or board of county commissioners may appoint an interim director to operate the agency.

  • Existing agencies before July 1, 2012 must declare by December 1, 2012 whether to continue with an appointed board or transition to an elected board; failure to enact this ordinance results in automatic transition to an elected board.
