The
Wayland Recreation Commission Members are elected, re-elected and
leave office through specific procedures.
There are five (5) members on the
Commission.
They must meet five basic
criteria in order to qualify for the election ballot for Recreation
Commissioners. These five are:
1 - They must
reside in the Town of Wayland.
2 - They must be
United States Citizens.
3 - They must be
registered voters.
4 - They must be
at least 18 years of age.
5 - They must take
out election papers and have 50 Wayland registered voters sign
them, and then they must submit them to the Town Clerk's Office.
A Commissioner is elected for a
three year term, with two commission positions subject to election
each year. Every third year only one position is open. Commissioners are
elected by the Wayland Public during spring elections. The candidates
receiving a plurality among those running in that election are placed on the
Commission, once they are sworn in by the Town Clerk.
When a Commissioner does not
fulfill his/her term, the remainder of the Commission and Selectmen decide
on who shall serve the remainder of said term, after public advertisement
and candidate interviews. Once the interviews are completed, they vote on
who shall fulfill the term. A majority vote of the combined Board members,
present, is needed for a final appointment.
A Commissioner may resign from
the Commission by notifying the following people of his/her resignation, by
letter.
1 - The Selectmen
2 - The remaining Recreation Commission Members
3 - The Town Clerk |
