A member of a board or commission may be granted a leave of absence by the city council, and a temporary vacancy thereupon shall exist for the period of such leave of absence. During the period of such temporary vacancy, the city council may fill such vacancy by a temporary appointment to the board or commission; provided, however, that the period of such temporary appointment shall not exceed the period of the temporary vacancy. At the expiration of such a leave of absence so granted, the member of the board or commission automatically shall resume full and permanent membership on the board or commission.
