A. In the event that there are no acceptable and qualified applicants to fill vacant commission positions, and there are an insufficient number of commissioners seated to legally conduct business in a service area pursuant to FNSBC 14.04.140, the Mayor may temporarily appoint one or more employees of the Rural Services Division or one or more consenting member(s) of the service area’s district council as acting commissioners, notwithstanding the qualification requirements of FNSBC 14.04.090, to fulfill the minimum duties of the commission. If, however, a road service area has been approved by ordinance for dissolution, the acting commissioner(s) shall be appointed as necessary to enable the fund balance to be spent within the service area before the effective date of the dissolution.

B. Notwithstanding FNSBC 14.04.090(B), Assembly confirmation of the appointment of an employee of the Rural Services Division as an acting commissioner is not necessary; however, the Assembly shall be notified of the appointment.

C. The employee(s) appointed pursuant to this section shall sit only until a qualified commissioner from the service area is appointed and confirmed.

D. Employee’s time spent on service area business shall be within the course and scope of the employee’s employment and charged to the service area pursuant to FNSBC 14.04.190(B)(2). (Ord. 2013-58 § 3, 2013; Ord. 2004-63 § 2, 2004. 2004 Code § 14.01.135.)
