The Planning Commission shall consist of nine regular members
who shall represent, insofar as is possible, the different professions
or occupations in the municipality and shall be appointed by the Mayor,
by and with the approval of a majority vote of the members elected
to the City Council. Two of the regular members may be residents of
the area over which the municipality is authorized to exercise extraterritorial
zoning and subdivision regulation. When there is a sufficient number
of residents in the area over which the municipality exercises extraterritorial
zoning and subdivision regulation, one regular member of the Commission
shall be a resident from such area, if it is determined by the City
Council that a sufficient number of residents reside in the area subject
to extraterritorial zoning and subdivision regulation, and no such
resident is a regular member of the Commission, the first available
vacancy on the Commission shall be filled by the appointment of such
an individual. For purposes of this section, a "sufficient number
of residents" shall mean 1,000 residents. The term of each regular
member shall be three years, except that three regular members of
the first Commission shall serve for terms of one year, three for
terms of two years, and three for terms of three years. All regular
members shall hold office until their successors are appointed. Any
member may, after a public hearing before the City Council, be removed
by the Mayor with the consent of a majority vote of the members elected
to the City Council for inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance
in office, or other good and sufficient cause. Vacancies occurring
otherwise than through the expiration of term shall be filled by the
Mayor for the unexpired portion of the term.
The Mayor, with the approval of a majority vote of the elected
members of the City Council, shall appoint one alternate member to
the Commission. The alternate member shall serve without compensation
and shall hold no other municipal office. The term of the alternate
member shall be three years, and he or she shall hold office until
his or her successor is appointed and approved. The alternate member
may be removed from office in the same manner as a regular member.
If the alternate member position becomes vacant other than through
the expiration of the term, the vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired
portion of the term by the Mayor with the approval of a majority vote
of the elected members of the City Council. The alternate member may
attend any meeting and may serve as a voting and participating member
of the Commission at any time when less than the full number of regular
Commission members is present and capable of voting.
