OAR 635-001-0020: Commission Policy on Advisory Bodies

The Commission shall, consistent with state law: (1) Consider appointment of minorities and women to fill vacancies so that advisory bodies are representative of the population served, to the extent possible. (2) Develop a system of staggered terms of office in order to maintain continuity. (3) Limit terms to four years, with no more than two consecutive terms to be served by any member, unless the Commission, for just cause, chooses to extend the number of said terms or term. (4) Direct advisory bodies to establish minimum frequency for meetings and to establish a minimum attendance required by advisory body members. The Commission shall be notified of advisory body members who fail to meet the minimum attendance and may, at their discretion, remove advisory body members who fail to meet the attendance requirement. (5) Notify advisory body members upon their appointment that they serve at the pleasure of the Commission.
