(A) The City Council shall appoint both regular and alternate members to the Commission. The term of the regular and alternate members of the Commission shall be three years, or until their respective successors are appointed and have been qualified. The term of each regular and alternate member (other than the initial members) shall begin on January 1 of the following year in which the member was appointed. No regular member shall serve more than two full consecutive terms on the Commission. The City Council shall fill a vacancy for the unexpired term.
(B) The City Council may appoint four alternate members to 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 a member in good standing: 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.
(C) The City Council may, upon a written charge and the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire City Council, remove a member of the Commission for cause. Before a decision regarding removal is made, a public hearing shall be held on the removal if requested by the member.
