(A) The term of the members of the Commission shall be for three years or until their respective successors are appointed and have qualified. No member shall serve more than two full consecutive terms on the 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 Public Safety 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 two alternate members to the Commission. Alternates shall serve in the order specified by the City Council, and a person named as an alternate shall be eligible until January 1 following the expiration of one year from the date such person was named as an alternate. Immediately following a vacancy, and without the necessity of further action by the City Council, the first eligible alternate shall take the oath of office and begin to serve the unexpired term of his or her predecessor. 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.
