Except as otherwise provided in the Charter, the Council shall on October 1 of each year nominate qualified city residents to serve on boards and committees. If necessary for the Board of Adjustment and Appeals only, established in compliance with the Southern Standard Building Code, the Council may by four-fifths vote of its members, nominate qualified nonresidents to serve. The Council shall, by majority vote, appoint members and alternates to boards and committees from those nominated. At their first meeting, each board shall appoint a chairperson to preside at each meeting from amongst its members. Council members may serve on one (1) or more committees but may not constitute a majority of the committee. Council members may not serve on boards. All vacancies shall be filled by this same nominating and confirmation process within sixty (60) days of a permanent vacancy. A member of any board or committee may be removed by a majority vote of the City Council.

Note— Editor's note—The Southern Standard Building Code was replaced by the International Building Code, as now adopted by the Florida Building Code.
