The members of each of the boards or commissions hereinafter named in this Article shall be appointed by the City Council from the qualified electors of the City, none of whom shall hold any paid office or employment in the City government. They shall be subject to the removal by motion of the City Council adopted by the affirmative votes of a majority of the total membership thereof. The members thereof shall serve for terms of four years and until their respective successors are appointed and qualified. The terms shall be staggered so that the number of terms on any such board or commission expiring in any year shall not differ by more than one from the number of terms expiring in any other year. Such terms shall expire on the dates established by resolution or ordinance of the City Council. A vacancy occurring before the expiration of a term shall be filled by appointment for the remainder of the unexpired term. (Amended June 3, 2014, filed by Secretary of State September 3, 2014.)
