(A) The Commission shall consist of seven members, all of whom shall be electors of the town, and shall be composed of two landlord members, two tenant members, and three members who are electors of the town but are neither landlords nor tenants. The members shall be appointed as set forth in Charter § 7-1.C and the composition of the Commission shall be subject to the provision of Charter § 7-1.B(7).
(B) In addition, the mayor shall appoint three electors to serve as alternates, who shall be one landlord, one tenant, and one person other than a landlord or tenant, subject to approval of the legislative council. Any alternates shall act in the place of a regular member who is either absent from a meeting or disqualified from serving or when otherwise required by the Commission in the exercise of its duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at no time shall more than two landlord or tenant representatives be present on a panel.
(C) Any regular or alternate member of the Commission who fails to maintain the status (either landlord, tenant, or elector) that he or she had upon appointment shall cease to be a member of the Commission effective immediately, subject to removal. The mayor, subject to the approval of the legislative council, may remove any regular or alternate member of the Commission for good cause, including the failure to attend three consecutive meetings of the Commission.
