There is hereby established a Shade Tree Commission which shall consist of at least five resident electors of the municipality who are not otherwise employed by the municipality. Members shall not hold any elective or appointive office in the municipal government. Election or appointment of a member of the Shade Tree Commission to the Office of Mayor, President of Council or Member of Council shall disqualify that member from service on the Shade Tree Commission on the date on which such member assumes elective office. For purposes of this chapter, appointment of a municipal elector to the Defiance Municipal Library Board shall be deemed an appointment to State office and such Elector shall not be disqualified from contemporaneous service on the municipal Shade Tree Commission unless simultaneous service is prohibited by State regulations then in effect.
