The board shall consist of seven (7) members as stated below:
A. The seven (7) members of the board shall be citizens of the village who are not members of the village board. The seven (7) citizen members shall be appointed by the president and approved by the village board. Said members shall serve a term office of five (5) years each from the first village board meeting in April of the year they are appointed or until such time as their successors take office. The term for which each said member is appointed shall be designated in his appointment. At the April village board meeting of each year, the member shall be appointed for a five (5) year term to succeed the member whose term expired in said month.
B. Members shall be eligible for reappointment and it is desirable that members rendering good service be reappointed in order that the zoning board of appeals may have the benefit of their experience and that there may be a continuity policy. If any member should during the term of his office die, move from the village, or for any reason be unable to act, the vacancy so created shall be filled in the same manner as an original appointment and shall be for the remainder of the unexpired term.
