(A) The first five citizen members of the City Plan Commission so appointed shall hold office respectively as follows: one for a term of two years, two for a term of three years, and two for a term of four years, from and after January 1 of the year of their appointment. Annually thereafter, on or before February 1 of each year, the Mayor shall appoint a Commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of office of any Commissioner, and the Commissioner shall hold office for the term of four years from January 1 of the year of his appointment. If any vacancy shall exist on the Commission, caused by resignation or otherwise of a citizen member, the Mayor shall appoint a Commissioner for the residue of the term.
(B) As soon as the City Plan Commission shall have been established, the Common Council and the Board of Parks and Recreation shall each select a member of their respective boards to serve on the Plan Commission, their terms to expire with the termination of their respective terms of office to which they may have been elected or appointed. Thereafter, whenever a vacancy occurs on the Commission, by resignation or otherwise of a member of the Common Council, the park board, or the board of directors for public utilities or board of trustees for utilities created under I.C. 8-1-11.1, each of these bodies shall immediately select one of its members to fill the vacancy and to serve during his term of office in the city government. The certificate of the Clerk of the Common Council or the Secretary of the Board of Parks and Recreation of any selection shall be transmitted to the City Plan Commission and made a part of their records.
(C) The President of the Board of Public Works and Safety and the City Engineer shall be ex-officio members of the Plan Commission. All members of the Commission shall serve without compensation, except actual expense reimbursement which shall be subject to approval by the Mayor.
(D) No Commissioner shall be removed from office, except upon charges first filed in writing with the City Plan Commission, and after a hearing thereon before the Commission. Nothing shall be deemed sufficient cause for removal, except inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office.
