Sec. 1-12. - Hold-over appointments to boards and commissions.
Part of the Code of Ordinances of Warwick, RI.
The text
Whenever a term of office has expired for a position on any city board or commission, the appointing authority must make an appointment for the expired position no later than 30 days after the expiration of the term. If the new appointee is not confirmed, in those cases where confirmation is required, or if the new appointee fails to qualify or otherwise fails to take office, then the appointing authority must submit the name of a new appointee within 30 days after the date on which confirmation was denied or the date on which the appointee failed to qualify or otherwise failed to take office. The name of a person who has not been confirmed or qualified or otherwise fails to take office, may not be submitted for appointment to the same board for a period of one year after the date on which the confirmation was denied, or the date on which the person failed to qualify or the date on which the person otherwise failed to take office. This procedure for appointment shall be repeated until a person is appointed, confirmed if necessary, and qualified to hold the position whose term had expired.
