(A) The initial Planning Board members, under this article, shall be appointed in the following manner: three members shall be appointed for a one-year term; two members shall be appointed for two-year terms and two members shall be appointed for three-year terms. Thereafter, the successors shall be appointed for terms of three years at the expiration of the initial terms in order that members’ terms of office do not expire contemporaneously. Terms are to expire on the May 15.
(B) Vacancies occurring for reasons other than expiration of terms prior to May 1 of the third year, shall be filled by the Board of Aldermen as such vacancies occur, for the period of the unexpired term. At the discretion of the Board of Aldermen, a vacancy may exist on the Planning Board if a member is absent from one-third or more of the Planning Board’s regularly scheduled monthly meetings within a one-year period.
