DISCUSSION
Background
In December 2023, the Legislation/Environmental Committee reviewed and discussed revisions to the entire council policy manual.

• Remove Term Limits
• Include Language to ensure members must reapply and be reconsidered prior to reappointment
• In Chapters 3.08 and 3.10 change term length from 2 to 4 years
On November 20, 2024, these changes were presented to the Committee, with exception to the term length for Chapter 3.10 which was enacted by the Measure M Ordinance adopted by the citizens of Stockton at the November 8, 2016, General Municipal Election and cannot be altered. After review, the Committee recommendation was forwarded to Council. Those changes are reflected in Attachments A, B, and C.
