(b) Membership. The charter review committee shall consist of no less than nine (9) and no more than eleven (11) members. In appointing the members, the city commission shall make every reasonable effort to appoint at least one (1) member from each city district. The members shall be residents and registered voters of the city at the time of appointment and throughout their terms. The immediate past chair and vice-chair shall be non-voting ex officio members. No elected official of the state, county or any municipality, nor any city employee, may serve as a voting member of the charter review committee.
