§ 32.001. GENERAL POLICIES OF LOUISVILLE METRO PERTAINING TO APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.  


Latest version.
  • That Metro Council and the Mayor declare that it shall henceforth be the policy of the Louisville/Jefferson County Metro Government that, unless otherwise expressly provided by ordinance or statute:
    (A) A person hereinafter appointed to serve on a board or commission, whose appointment is subject to Metro Council approval, shall not at the same time serve on another board or commission whose appointment is subject to Metro Council approval.
    (B) No person shall be appointed to serve more than three terms on any board or commission. If a person has served more than fifty percent (50%) of a term, he or she is considered to have served a full term.
    (C) Appointments should reflect geographic, political, gender, age, racial and other elements of diversity, where appropriate, so that representatives on all boards and commissions are proportionate to the many facets and areas of the Louisville Metro community to enable an equal voice in the policy and decision making processes of such boards and commissions.
