All terms shall expire on December 31 of each successive year. Thereafter, all appointments shall be for the term of five years and shall expire on December 31 of the appropriate year, and any vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term only. The members shall serve until their respective successors are appointed and shall qualify.

D. 
Two alternate members shall be appointed by the Mayor and Council for a term of one year. Said alternate members may participate in the discussions and the proceedings of the Board but may not vote except in the absence or disqualification of a regular member which would result in a lack of a quorum.

No alternate member shall be permitted to act on any matter in which the alternate has, either directly or indirectly, any personal or financial interest. An alternate member may, after public hearing if he requests one, be removed by the governing body for cause.
