(A) If a member of a board, commission, or Citizen Committee (1) is absent from three regular meetings of the board or commission, consecutively or within a calendar quarter, and the chair thereof recommends removal, (2) has violated the Code of Ethics, or (3) ceases to be a qualified elector and resident of the town (in the case of a board, commission, or executive members of a committee), that office shall become vacant upon the declaration of Council. The Council may, for good cause or upon recommendation of the Chair of the agency, determine that a vacancy has not been created.
(B) Resignations may be submitted at any time to the Town Council either directly or through the board, commission, or Citizen Committee chair. Resignations are effective upon submittal.
(C) Upon notice of a vacancy, town staff shall initiate an appointment procedure similar to that for Council (described in § 30.016), leading to a recommendation to the Town Council for a successor of the vacancy and the successor will be appointed to serve only to the date of the unexpired term. The commission, board, or committee appointment process differs from the Council appointment process in that, (1) the call for applications may be advertised (if requested by the Council, commission, board, or committee), and (2) the chair of the commission, board, or committee will participate as a member of the interview panel.
