(a) Establishment and Scope. The Mayor is authorized to establish a Park Commission, which shall not exceed seven members, to advise him on methods and means of utilizing the park property of the City in the best interests of the citizens of the City. Such Commission, if appointed, shall advise the Mayor on the proper methods of developing the parks with respect to location of shelter houses, paths, sidewalks, parking areas, picnic grounds, planting and landscaping. In the event of conflict with the advice of the Recreation Commission as to matters wholly concerned with location of recreational facilities or areas, the desires of the Recreation Commission shall take precedence. The Park Commission shall have such further duties as are required of it by the Mayor.
(b) Terms of Members. Following the passage (July 9, 1962) of this section, the terms of the members of the Park Commission shall be for periods of three years each, except that the present tenures shall terminate as follows: two terms on December 31, 1962, two terms on December 31, 1963, and the remaining three terms on December 31, 1964. Determination of the names of members whose terms will terminate in the years 1962 and 1963 shall be made by lot on or before November 1 preceding the expiration date of each such term. The Mayor shall thereafter, but prior to the expiration date, appoint members for the expired terms, which terms shall commence on January 1, 1963, January 1, 1964, and January 1, 1965.
