The Citizen Advisory Panel shall hold meetings as determined by the Human Resources Director or when requested by the Mayor, Council or FOAC. The Citizen Advisory Panel shall keep a written record of its proceedings, which shall be filed with the City Clerk upon conclusion of the body's service. A quorum shall consist of five (5) members. No final action shall be taken on any matter except pursuant to the majority vote of the members present. The Citizen Advisory Panel will provide reports to the Mayor, Council or FOAC, as needed or requested.

Citizen Advisory
Panel, without additional compensation and shall keep a record of all transactions of the Panel and provide the Panel with all information necessary to perform its duties.

A. There is hereby created a temporary advisory group to the Mayor and Council, to be known as the Employee Advisory Panel for the City Attorney Hiring Process and hereafter referred to as the "Employee Advisory Panel."
B. The Employee Advisory Panel shall consist of no more than nine members who are employees functioning in an executive or other appropriate capacity as assigned by the City Manager.
C. The City Manager, or the Human Resources Director on his behalf, will direct an appropriate process for the members of the Employees Advisory Panel to perform the duties required of the Panel. The Advisory Panel will provide reports or recommendations to the Mayor, Council or FOAC, as needed or requested.
D. The Human Resources Director will assist the Employee Advisory Panel as necessary and provide the Panel with all information necessary to perform its duties.
E. The Employee Advisory Panel shall perform the following function: Assist with the selection of the City Attorney by providing advice and/or input and participate in activities or events in accordance with the direction of the Human Resources Director as provided on behalf of the City Manager and/or the Mayor, Council or FOAC.
Section 4. All resolutions, or parts thereof, that are in conflict or inconsistent with any provision of this Resolution are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict, and the provisions of this Resolution shall be and remain controlling as to the matters regulated, herein.
Section 5. Should any of the clauses, sentences, paragraphs, sections or parts of this Resolution be deemed invalid, unconstitutional, or unenforceable by a court of law or administrative agency with jurisdiction over the matter, such action shall not be construed to affect any other valid portion of this Resolution.
