2-102 : Membership, composition and terms of office.

  1. The Baneberry Road Commission shall consist of no less than three (3), nor more than five (5) members, duly appointed by the mayor. The chairman shall be named by the mayor. All members must be residents of the City of Baneberry, Tennessee or a non-resident lot owner who is capable of attending meetings and fulfilling the duties and responsibilities listed herein.
  2. Members shall be appointed for a period of four (4) years, with staggered term expirations, so that no more than two (2) members need be replaced in a calendar year. Members may be re-appointed at the expiration of their term at the discretion of the mayor. All members serve at the pleasure of the mayor.
  3. The road commission chairman shall appoint a secretary from amongst the road commission membership.
  4. The road commission shall meet at least quarterly in open session in accordance with Tennessee Open Meetings Act; Tennessee Code Annotated, § 8-44-101. The road commission may meet more frequently as needed; or as they vote and choose to meet; or as often as the mayor may so direct. The public shall be notified of meeting schedules and changes thereto, a minimum of one (1) week prior.
  5. The road commission's meetings shall be conducted in the spirit of Robert's Rules of Order, newly revised. A simple majority constitutes a quorum and the secretary shall record minutes of the road commission business. Standing orders shall include, at a minimum: a call to order; reports; old business; new business; announcements; and adjournment.
  6. Meeting minutes shall be reviewed, accepted, tabled, or edited at each subsequent, regularly scheduled meeting and a signed copy of the accepted original minutes shall be filed with the city manager.
  7. The road commission chairman shall be seated, ex officio, as a member of the Baneberry Planning Commission as needed to report recommended road projects to the planning commission who provides zoning, subdivision and growth planning, and development oversight recommendations to the board of commissioners, hereinafter referred to as the "city council."
  8. The road commission chairman shall report progress and completion of scheduled and approved improvements and emergency road repairs to the city manager and to the city council at the city's regularly scheduled meetings of the city council.
  9. Members of the road commission should have backgrounds in municipal public works; civil engineering; excavation; road construction and street maintenance; erosion and soil and water pollution control; stormwater management and controls; building construction, and building and equipment maintenance. Given the city's size and demographics and the likelihood that the city's road commission volunteers may lack these backgrounds, it is imperative that the road commission develop and maintain a network of professional and experienced advisors.
