Ordinance amending Section 2-67 of the Code of Ordinances regarding
limitations on committee appointments
Whereas City Council Policy No. 10 adopted by Resolution 21901 provides that the City
Council may appoint ad hoc committees as needed to assist the Council in its business;
Whereas, an ad hoc committee is a committee formed to address a particular issue and
is typically not considered to be a standing committee of the City;
Whereas, City Council Policy No. 10 provides that all members to City Council ad hoc
committees will be appointed by the Mayor or a majority of the Council;
Whereas Section 2-67 of the City Code of Ordinances and City Council Policy No. 14
provides that no person shall be appointed to serve on more than one committee of the
City at the same time;
Whereas, the Council desires to modify Section 2-67 so that service on one ad hoc
committee does not prohibit appointment to another City board, commission or
committee;
Be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas:
SECTION 1. That City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 2, Administration, Article IV,
Miscellaneous Boards, Commissions and Committees, Division 1 , Generally, Section 2-
67 Limitations on appointments, is revised regarding service on ad hoc committees.
The deleted text is shown in strike-through text and the new text shown in underlined
text as follows:
"Sec. 2-67. - Limitations on appointments.
(a) No person may serve as a voting member of a board, commission, or committee of
the city for a period longer than six (6) years consecutively unless such service is
required by virtue of the person's position or title as the result of employment or to
complete an unexpired term. No person may be reappointed to the same board,
commission, or committee after having been appointed to terms that would provide for
six (6) consecutive years of service as a voting member unless the person has not
served on that board, commission, or committee for a period of twelve (12) months. No
person shall be appointed by the mayor or city council to serve on more than one (1)
board, commission or committee of the city at the same time unless required by charter,
statute or other ordinance, said committee is an ad hoc committee, or when such
service is required by virtue of the individual's position or title as the result of
employment. No person may serve on more than one ad hoc committee.'
1 This sentence was added as a floor amendment. The intent is that no person may serve on more than
one ad hoc committee at the same time.

members to a board, commission or committee of the city. Any such advisory, nonvoting

which such person has been appointed.
