(A) The Olathe Community Fund Advisory Committee consists of a maximum of seven (7) members, excluding ex officio members. Members will be nominated by the Mayor and confirmed by the Governing Body. Members must be residents of the City. Members will serve without compensation. The Governing Body may serve as the Advisory Committee until the members of the Advisory Committee are appointed.

(B) Members will serve for terms of three (3) years. Members will usually serve no more than two (2) consecutive three (3) year terms, except that a member may serve an additional term or terms if reappointed by the Governing Body. A member may be removed from office at any time by the Mayor with the majority vote of the Governing Body.

(C) A vacancy or vacancies on the Advisory Committee exists in case of the death, resignation, or removal of any member. The Governing Body is not required to fill a vacancy. Any filling of vacancies will be done in the manner described in this Section and will be for the remainder of the unexpired term of the previous member. No reduction of the authorized number of members will have the effect of removing any member prior to the expiration of such member’s term of office.

(D) The Mayor, the City Manager, and a Councilmember appointed by the Governing Body will serve as ex officio members. The Mayor and the City Manager will serve as long as they hold their positions with the City. Upon termination of their positions with the City, their positions as ex officio members are terminated and their successors at the City will be their successors as ex officio members. The Councilmember will serve at the discretion of the Governing Body and may be replaced by the Governing Body at its discretion. The ex officio members have all the rights and privileges of the other members. Ex officio members may be added to the Advisory Committee with Governing Body approval.
