Should the term of office of board members be limited? On the one hand, there <br />may be need for turn over on our boards and commissions to engender fresh ideas <br />and new energy. On the other hand, some very qualified people continue to serve <br />and give substantial value. <br /> <br />A: Tenn limits were established, in part, due to the tendency by voters to reelect incumbents. <br />This tendency is not present with the Port Commission since they are appointed by the <br />City Council. As a result a Port Commissioner mayor may not be reappointed based on <br />his/her knowledge and experience with the Port. Highly qualified and experienced Port <br />Commissioners are an asset to the City and Port. Not having tenn limits does not limit <br />the ability of the City Council to utilize other persons who are interested in service to the <br />community. <br /> <br />18. Please share the port's current and future plans for the community. <br /> <br />A: See answer to question 26. <br /> <br />19. Where is there any oversight of port directions? Should there be? <br /> <br />A: The oversight ofthe Port Commission is with the City Council as it is with other city <br />boards and commissions. The Council exercises its oversight by appointment, and if <br />necessary, removal of a Commissioner. <br /> <br />Port of Redwood City Responses to City Charter Questions 02lO5J08 <br /> <br />Page 9 of 13 <br />
