(a) There is hereby established a Middletown Cemetery Board, which shall be composed of no more than five members, who shall be appointed by City Council.
(b) One of the members of the Board shall be appointed for a term of one year, beginning January 1, 2011. Two of the members of the Board shall be appointed for a term of two years, beginning January 1, 2011. The remaining two members of the Board shall be appointed for a term of three years, beginning January 1, 2011. At the expiration of their initial terms, Board members shall be appointed for three year terms, which shall begin on January 1. However, if a vacancy occurs on the Board, the term of the member appointed to fill the vacant seat shall begin on the date of appointment and terminate at the end of the term of the member originally appointed to that seat.
(c) Notwithstanding § 260.03, City Council may appoint persons who are neither an elector of the City nor a resident of the City to the Cemetery Board if City Council determines, in its sole discretion, that such appointment is beneficial to the Cemetery Board. Appointment by City Council creates an irrebuttable presumption that City Council has made this determination that the appointment is beneficial to the Cemetery Board. At all times at least three members of the Cemetery Board shall be electors and/or residents of the City.
