(A) The term of the members and alternates of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be for three years or until their respective successors are appointed and have qualified. No regular member shall serve more than two full consecutive terms on the Planning and Zoning Commission. Commission members may be removed at any time upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the City Council.
(B) During the month of September of each year, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, the City Council shall appoint members to fill all vacancies expected to occur on the Planning and Zoning Commission during the succeeding 12-month period. The term of each member shall begin on January 1 of the following year in which the member was appointed.
(C) The City Council may appoint four alternate members of the Commission. To maintain a quorum, an alternate member may serve as a voting member in the absence of one or more regular members when requested to do so by the Chair. Such alternates shall serve in the order in which they were appointed and must be members in good standing: having attended at least three meetings and acting in compliance with all explicit obligations, while not subject to any form of sanction, suspension, or disciplinary censure. An alternate member vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as a vacancy among the regular members.
(D) The City Council shall choose from the alternates to fill vacant positions.
