as originally appointed.
The office of any person appointed to a specified term, with
or without compensation, by the Hopatcong Borough Mayor and Council
of Administrator, including persons appointed to any board, committee,
commission, authority or other agency relating to a joint or shared
service, shall be deemed vacant whenever the member, without being

six consecutive weeks, or three consecutive meetings, whichever shall
be of longer duration, at the conclusion of such period, provided
that such body shall notify the appointing authority in writing of
