A. 
Any member of a board or commission of this City may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause, by a majority vote of the City Council, except in cases where the Mayor or City Council are not the appointing authority (in which cases such regular appointing authority may exercise this power of removal). If a member absents himself without advance permission of the board or commission or of his appointing authority from three (3) consecutive regular meetings or from twenty-five percent (25%) of the duly scheduled meetings of the board or commission within any fiscal year, his office shall thereupon become vacant and shall be filled as any other vacancy. The Council reserves the power to reaffirm commission appointments and reappointments every four (4) years.
B. 
Unless otherwise provided by law, or by ordinance or resolution of the City Council, all members of boards and commissions of the City appointed by the City Council shall be initially, and during their incumbencies, bona fide residents and registered voters of the City, and no such member at or during such time shall be an employee of the City.
