Section 9-164b - Deferred terms.

As to any board or commission with a rotating membership, some of the members of which, prior to the change to a uniform municipal election date under section 9-164, were elected for terms beginning approximately one year after the date of their election, the legislative body may provide for such conforming changes in the beginning date of the terms of office as are designed to continue the rotation with regard to such office as it existed prior to such change, and in the absence of such action by such legislative body, the beginning date of the terms of such office shall be so changed by the clerk of the municipality in preparing the list provided for under section 9-254. With respect to any board or commission with a rotating membership established under sections 8-1, 8-4a, 8-5 and 8-19, the authority empowered to prescribe the term of office of the members of such board or commission, if it is authorized under said sections to provide for an odd-numbered year term, may further provide for deferred terms by prescribing which terms are to begin approximately one year from the date on which the terms of municipal officers generally begin in such municipality.

(1969, P.A. 570, S. 4; 1971, P.A. 715.)

History: 1971 act added authorization with respect to board or commission with rotating membership for deferred terms to be prescribed by authority so empowered, where it is authorized to provide for an odd-numbered year term.
