(A) Pursuant to KRS 100.133(2), the Planning Commission shall consist of at least five, but not more than 20 members. If the Joint Planning Unit continues to consist of the county and four cities, the cities shall each have one member and the county shall have five members, for a total of a nine-member commission. One member from each of the cities and the three members representing unincorporated Campbell County shall continue in office for their full terms. In addition, the County Judge Executive shall appoint two additional members to represent unincorporated Campbell County. If another city joins the Joint Unit, that city shall have one representative on the Commission, and the county shall then appoint another member to represent unincorporated Campbell County so as to keep an uneven number of members on the Commission and to continue providing for equal representation. If a city decides to leave the Joint Planning Unit, then the number of members representing unincorporated Campbell County shall be reduced by one, so as to again keep an uneven number of members and equal representation. The above noted makeup of the membership of the Commission is subject to amendment in the future as additional cities become part of the Joint Planning Unit.
(B) The term of office for all newly appointed members of the Commission shall be staggered, considering the terms of the balance of the members of the Commission, so that as much as possible an equal number of members terms expire each year.
(C) All members of the Commission shall, before entering upon their duties, qualify by taking the oath of office prescribed by Section 228 of the Constitution of Kentucky before any office designated by KRS 110.151.
(D) A member of the Commission may be removed by the appropriate appointing authority for inefficiency, neglect of duty, malfeasance, or conflict of interest in the manner set forth in KRS 100.157.
(E) A vacancy on the Commission shall be filled by the appropriate appointing authority within 60 days. If the authority fails to act within that time, the vacancy shall be filled by the Commission. Vacancies occurring for reason other than the expiration of the term of office shall be filled for the remainder of that term.
(F) Each citizen member of the Commission shall be paid a fee for attendance at regular and special meetings. The rate of such compensation shall be as fixed from time to time by the Fiscal Court of the county and the legislative bodies of the cities for their respective members.
