The Council may, by ordinance, establish advisory boards with such functions and number of members as it may determine. The members of such boards shall be appointed and removed by the Mayor. No elected City official, or City officer, or City employee, or citizen having a conflict of interest shall be eligible for appointment to such boards. No compensation will be paid to members of advisory boards, except as provided by ordinance.

Unless otherwise provided in this Charter, or by state law, all boards, commissions, committees or other such bodies (herein referred to as “Boards”) shall be advisory only, and shall be for the purpose of assisting the Mayor or Council in the performance of their duties.
