For boards/commissions, which are not state mandated, the Board's policy is to ~ limit the length of service to two-three year terms (or any combination of full terms totaling six 8 years) on the various boards and commissions. This time period does not include state 9 mandated training programs or partial terms. Appointment to serve for any actual period of two to (2) years or more will constitute a full term. Appointment for any actual period of less than two 11 (2) years will constitute a partial or unexpired term. This will allow for more individuals to serve 12 and for diversity of opinions. It will also provide for conformity in the length and number of 13 terms for those boards and commissions that are not state mandated with set terms: The Board 14 will limit the length of service according to this policy for boards and commissions that are 15 State mandated, to the extent permitted under state law. 16 l~ 11.

A leave of absence may be granted for extraordinary circumstances, such as illness 23 or personal circumstances.
