office as a council member or as Mayor, shall automatically serve as a member of the Commission.
The eighth member of the Commission shall be the resident commission member, who shall be
appointed by the Mayor, subject to approval of the Chandler City Council.
36-52-31.1. Resident commission member eligibility. A person who is a citizen and elector of
the City is eligible to be a resident commission member if the person: (a) is directly assisted
by the federal public housing or rental assistance programs administered by the City, either
by being a resident of a City public housing project or by being a recipient of housing
assistance in the City's tenant-based Section 8 program; (b) is expressly named in the lease
for City public housing or for City administered Section 8 housing; and (c) is eighteen (18)

36-52-31.2. Resident commission member term. The resident commission member shall serve
a term of three (3) years, provided, however, a member shall continue to serve until a
successor has been duly appointed and qualified. The resident commission member shall
serve no more than two (2) consecutive terms on the PHA Commission, but may be re-
appointed after the lapse of three (3) years from the end of the previous term. A resident
commission member who ceases to be directly assisted by the federal public housing or rental
assistance programs administered by the City may complete his or her current term on the

programs. The resident commission member may not be excluded from participating in any
matter before the Commission on the grounds that the resident commission member's lease
for City public housing, or the resident commission member's status as a public housing
resident or recipient of Section 8 tenant-based assistance, either results or may result in a

or to a subcategory of residents.
