(a)

Composition; appointment; terms generally; vacancies. Effective January 1, 2014, the Planning Commission shall consist of seven members, who shall be appointed for terms of four years, all of whom shall serve as members of the Commission without compensation. The Board of Adjustment shall consist of the members and officers of the Planning Commission. All terms shall begin on January 1 and expire on December 31. All members of the Planning Commission shall be nominated by the administrator, and appointments shall be confirmed by the Board of Directors. By December 1, whether through the expiration of a term or a vacancy, the chairperson shall notify the administrator of appointments to be filled. All members shall serve until their successors have been appointed and qualified. If a member misses three consecutive regular meetings or 50 percent of the regular meetings within any 12 consecutive months, whether sitting as the Planning Commission or as the board of adjustment, that member is automatically removed from the Commission, and the administrator shall be so advised of the vacancy.

(b)

Term limits. A member of the Planning Commission may only be appointed for two terms of four years each. After the expiration of one year, the person may be reappointed to the Commission.
