A. The term of office for the members and alternate members of the junior city council shall be two years. Members and alternate members shall be students during their entire term. Middle school students shall be selected for two-year terms from seventh grade classes, so they can fulfill their full terms while attending the same school. High school students shall be selected for two-year terms from ninth, tenth or eleventh grade classes, so they can fulfill their full terms while attending the same school.

B. Terms of office shall run from September of the first year of appointment through August of the second year of appointment; provided, that for the initial appointees to the junior city council, five of the members shall be appointed for terms commencing upon appointment and confirmation, and expiring at the end of August of the following year; and four of the members shall be appointed for terms commencing upon appointment and confirmation, and expiring at the end of August of that same year. Thereafter, members shall be appointed in staggered terms for the full two years, commencing with the expiration of the term of those they succeed.

C. An additional two-year term for members and alternate members of the junior city council may be allowed so long as the member will be a student during the entire additional term. (Ord. 6594 § 2, 2016; Ord. 6441 § 1, 2013.)
