Sec. 2-231[Commission established.]
Plain English: what this chapter covers
Chapter 2 covers how city government runs: when the council meets and how residents can speak, the ethics code and how to file a complaint, rules for city employees (including drug testing and the city minimum wage), budgeting and purchasing limits, city credit cards, the Community Relations Commission, and how the city protects utility customers' personal information.
There is hereby established in and for the City of Ashburn the Ashburn Community Relations Commission to be composed of seven members who shall be residents of the City of Ashburn and registered voters of the City of Ashburn, one of whom shall be appointed by each of the five Council members and two of whom shall be appointed by the Mayor of the City of Ashburn. Emphasis in the selection of commission members shall be upon obtaining a group diverse with respect to race, religion, economic status, type of employment, age, national origin, sex, geographic location, and political party affiliation. The five members appointed by the council members shall be appointed to initial terms of two years each and until their successors are appointed and qualified, and the two members appointed by the mayor shall be appointed for initial terms of one year each and until their successors are appointed and qualified. After initial appointments have been served, terms shall be two years each in duration and until their successors are appointed and qualified.
