155.03 TERMS OF OFFICE; FILLING VACANCIES; TERM LIMITS.

   (a)    All members appointed to the Diversity and Inclusion Commission shall serve a term of two (2) years from the date of their appointment, unless otherwise expressed explicitly in the language of this ordinance.

   (b)    To balance continuity and new member perspectives, initial Commission appointees will serve staggered terms. To create the staggered term limit schedule for appointees, four (4) of the initial appointees shall serve a term of two (2) years and the remaining three (3) initial appointees shall serve a term of one (1) year. After the initial roster of appointees have served their first full term, all future appointees shall serve the typical two-year term limit.

   (c)    All members begin their terms in March. In the event that a vacancy shall occur during the term of any member of the Commission, his/her successor shall be appointed for the unexpired portion of such term. Filling an unexpired term of less than one (1) year shall not count as a full term; however, in no case will a member be appointed to serve on the Commission for more than two (2) consecutive terms. Therefore, the maximum number of years an appointee can serve on the Commission is four (4) years.
