The terms of office of each member of LAFCO shall be four years and until the appointment and qualification of his or her successor (GC §56334).
County members of LAFCO are appointed by the Board of Supervisors from their own membership (GC §56325).
The public member is appointed by the city and county members of LAFCO.
The city selection committee, composed of the mayor of each city in the county (GC §50270) appoints the city members, each of whom shall be a mayor or council member. The clerk of the county (Clerk to the Board of Supervisors) acts as permanent secretary and recording officer of the city selection committee (GC §56335 & §50276).
- The mayors use a rotation plan to ensure fairness and allow each city to have representation for two years as alternate, then two years in city seat #2, followed by two years in city seat #1.
- The rotation order is as follows: Amador City, Jackson, Sutter Creek, Ione, Plymouth. The biennial rotation is independent of the fixed four-year calendar terms assigned to each city position per statute.
