COMMITTEE ROTATION
It is proposed that the committee become active effective January 1, 2006 with initial terms until
August 1, 2007. After that time, a rotation would begin where 1/3 of the committee would finish
their term on August 1, with new committee members being appointed/elected to three year
terms. This will provide good committee continuity, with no more that 1/3 new members each
year.
