(B) Vacancies among the membership shall be filled by the Board of Commissioners and the successor shall fill the unexpired term of the vacant member. The Board of Commissioners may remove a trustee at any time for incapacity, unfitness, misconduct, or neglect of duty.
(C) No member shall serve longer than three consecutive full terms. Individuals serving three consecutive full terms must sit off the Board for one calendar year before eligible for reappointment.
