Per Ordinance No. 3730: Any person appointed by the City Council to a board or commission as either a regular member or alternate member shall be deemed to

Quorum is determined based on the authorized voting membership established by the applicable ordinance. Accordingly, the existence of one or more vacancies does not change the authorized membership or reduce the number of members required to constitute a quorum.
