the Council at each annual reorganization meeting.
In addition to the appointed members, the Mayor

The Chairman of the Committee may create and
make appointments to such subcommittees as he or she deems desirable

body.
Any member of the Committee may be removed from
office and/or replaced by resolution of the Borough Council.
