Session 1244, Minutes Page 2 May 12, 1980 by rotation, with each councilmember having a chance, as vacancies arise, to nom- inate someone to each board or commission in turn. It was brought out that each councilmember does not always nominate someone from his own ward to a vacancy, which could account for the slight discrepancy in numbers. Also, several of the boards (such as the Board of Adjustment) have stringent requirements, because of the skills required, and it is necessary to appoint people who fill the qualifica- tions required, regardless of where they live.
