(A) There shall be a Storm Water Advisory Board appointed by the City Council. The membership shall consist of seven members; three City Council members; and four city residents, with one representative from each of the city’s four wards.
(B) City Council members serving on the Storm Water Advisory Board are serving by virtue of their elected office. Should the City Council member cease to hold elected office during his or her term on the Storm Water Advisory Board, he or she is thereafter ineligible and the City Council shall appoint a replacement.
(C) City residents serving on the Storm Water Advisory Board are serving by virtue of ward representation. Should the citizen move from the ward being represented, he or she is thereafter ineligible to represent the ward and shall be requested to resign from the Board. The City Council shall appoint a resident of the ward being represented to fill the unexpired term.
(D) Storm Water Advisory Board members shall be appointed to serve two-year staggered terms, but members may continue to serve until their successors have been appointed. Vacancies may be filled by the City Council for unexpired terms.
(E) Members may be appointed to no more than two successive terms, unless the City Council determines that the removal of individuals made ineligible by this subchapter would be detrimental to the functioning of the Board.
(F) Three consecutive, unexcused absences on the part of any appointee to the Storm Water Advisory Board automatically constitutes resignation on the part of the appointee and generates automatic acceptance of such resignation of the appointee by the City Council. EXCUSED ABSENCES are defined as absences caused by events beyond one’s control and are subject to approval by the Storm Water Advisory Board. Storm Water Advisory Board members may be removed by the City Council at any time for any other good cause related to performance of duties.
