Planning Board - Mr. Melvyn Schlesser (Attorney)
Date: January 13, 2004
Pursuant to the City Code Sec 2-22 (5) board members terms are two years, commencing
on January 1, and expiring on December 31; the City Code further establishes a term limit
of six consecutive years for board members appointed by the City Commission as a whole
("at-large appointees"). Appointments to the Planning Board are "at-large."
In January 1998, Melvyn Schlesser was appointed to the Planning Board for a term of one
year. He was reappointed to this Board for a two year term commencing on January 1,
1999 and expiring December 31,2000; in January 2001, he was reappointed to a two year
term expiring on December 31, 2002; finally, he was reappointed in January, 2003 for a
two year term expiring on December 31,2004.
The City Attorney's Office has confirmed that in light of these facts and the relevant City
Code section 2-22(5), as of December 31,2003, Mr. Schlesser has served his term limit of
six consecutive years, thus leaving a vacancy on the Planning Board for the unexpired term
of one year (commencing on January 1, 2004 and expiring on December 31, 2004).
