For boards/commissions, which are not state mandated, the Board's policy is to limit the length <br />of service to two-three year terms (or an,y combination of full terms Totaling six years) on the various <br />boards and commissions. This time period does not include state mandated training programs or <br />partial terms. If the unexpired term is greater than two years it maybe considered a full term.

The Board will limit the length of service according to this policy for <br />boards and commissions that are State mandated, to the extent permitted under state law. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: None. <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): Adapt the proposed changes as written. <br />
