§ 2.20.030. Assembly—Examination and confirmation authority—Procedure following denial of confirmation.


Latest version.
  • The assembly shall examine the qualifications of the executive for the purpose of determining whether they comply with the requirements prescribed by statute or ordinance for the position occupied. If they comply, the assembly shall so find and shall confirm the appointment. If they find the executive not qualified, they shall deny confirmation and the mayor shall thereafter hire a qualified person. No more than 31 days shall pass after the mayor has submitted the name of a new executive officer before the assembly shall determine by majority vote whether or not the qualifications set by statute and ordinance have been met. Failure to consider the matter within this time shall be deemed to constitute a finding that the officer possesses the requisite qualifications.
