upon passage of this ordinance shall serve as follows: two members shall each
serve for one year; two members shall each serve for two years; two members
shall each serve for three years; and one member shall serve a full four-year
term. All appointments not made within 30 days after a vacancy, shall be made
by the Borough Council as provided. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired
