There is hereby created and established a Park, Recreation and Cemetery Board which shall consist of six (6) members as hereinafter provided. Two (2) members, neither of whom shall be members of Council, shall be appointed by the Manager and four (4) citizens of the Municipality, one (1) of whom may be a member of Council, shall be appointed by a majority vote of the Council. Members of the Park, Recreation and Cemetery Board shall be appointed for a term of five (5) years each and shall continue in office until their successor is appointed. However, the term of a member of Council serving on the Board shall coincide with their term on Council unless removed by a majority vote of Council.
Members shall be appointed by a majority vote of Council for a term of three (3) years with a maximum of two (2) consecutive terms and shall continue in office until a successor is appointed. Persons currently on Boards, Commissions or Committees having served either 2 consecutive terms or a total of 6 consecutive years at the end of their current term are not eligible for reappointment, but may reapply after sitting out one term. Persons currently in office may serve out their existing appointment. Each Board, Commission or Committee may designate one person with exceptional professional qualifications to be exempt from term limits with Council's approval. That exception is non-transferable and will remain with only that person until that person is no longer on that Board or Commission.
