Body
Summary:
Since Councilmember Martin is leaving council, his appointee to the Crime District expires when his term does. Incoming Councilmember Ripley wishes to continue to have Victor White serve on the Crime District as his appointee as well.

(1) at the pleasure of the governing body of the municipality or county; and
(2) for a term concurrent with the term of the appointing member.
