Idaho Code § 50-210
The mayor and council shall have authority to appoint such boards, commissions and committees as may be deemed necessary or expedient to assist the mayor and council in better carrying out the responsibilities of their offices. The responsibilities, duties and authority granted permanent boards or commissions, shall be enumerated by ordinance. All appointments to permanent boards, commissions or committees shall be made by the mayor with the advice and approval of the council, and members of permanent boards, commissions or committees may in like manner be removed. Members of all such boards, commissions or committees shall serve without compensation, but actual and necessary expenses may be allowed by ordinance in the case of permanent boards, commissions or committees, or with prior approval of the mayor and city council for all other boards, commissions or committees. Unless otherwise specifically provided, each such board, commission or committee shall provide its own manner of organizing, but shall maintain such records and make such reports as the mayor and city council may require or request.
