Committee member seats are numbered. Each Council member is assigned a numbered seat and is responsible for nominating a community member to his or her assigned seat. Nominees are then appointed by a majority vote of the City Council.

A. Each committee member shall be a qualified elector of the city of Glendale at the time of appointment and during incumbency and have an interest or knowledge of the community.

B. No person shall serve on the committee if he or she has any decision-making authority in a community organization that applies for or receives funds through the community development block grant. Any participation by a committee member as a decision-maker in such community organization must have ceased at least thirty (30) days prior to the time of appointment and may not occur during incumbency. Alternatively, any community organization with a decision-maker that is also a member of the committee shall not be entitled to receive funds through the community development block grant as long as the member continues to serve in both capacities. For purposes of this section, any person serving on the governance board, e.g., board of directors, of a community organization shall be deemed to have decision-making authority in that organization.
