All terms of all commissioners of the plan commission holding office, whose terms have not already expired, shall expire on April 30, 1988. All commissioners holding office, whose terms have expired, shall cease to be commissioners effective the same date. Effective May 1, 1988, a new board shall be appointed. (Ord. 88-04, 2-23-1988)
The plan commission shall consist of five (5) commissioners, all of whom shall be appointed by the mayor with the advice and consent of the board of trustees. The terms of the five (5) commissioners appointed shall be as follows: two (2) expiring in one year, two (2) expiring in two (2) years and one expiring in three (3) years. Thereafter, all terms shall be for a period of three (3) years or June 1, 2008, whichever comes first. The term of each commissioner of the zoning, planning and development commission holding office on June 1, 2008, shall expire on the later of April 30, 2009, or until such commissioner's successor is duly appointed and has qualified. Thereafter, the term of each commissioner of the zoning, planning and development commission shall be for a one year period ending on April 30 of each year or until such commissioner's successor is duly appointed and has qualified. (Ord. 88-04, 2-23-1988; amd. Ord. 2008-07, 5-27-2008)
The mayor shall appoint a commissioner to serve as chairman for a term not to exceed the time said mayor remains in office. The chairman shall attend the village board meetings as needed. The village board may remove any commissioner for cause after a public hearing before them. All vacancies to the commission shall be filled for the unexpired term of the commissioner whose office is vacated. All commissioners shall serve until their successors have been appointed and qualified.
The plan commission may adopt its own rules of procedure not in conflict with this code or the state statutes, and may select or appoint such officers as it deems necessary.
The village board may provide general or specific rules implementing, but not inconsistent with, the rules herein provided to govern the plan commission. (Ord. 88-04, 2-23-1988)
All meetings of the plan commission shall be open to the public. The members of the plan commission shall meet at Posen village hall at such dates and times as they may deem necessary; but, the plan commission shall conduct a regular annual meeting on the third Thursday in June of each year at seven o'clock (7:00) P.M. Notice of all meetings shall be posted at the Posen village hall in such manner as required by law. In addition to such other reports and recommendations which may be required by this chapter, the plan commission shall also file an annual report with the village board no later than the fourth Tuesday in July of each year, setting forth its transactions and recommendations. (Ord. 92-10, 7-28-1992)
