(a) No person shall serve as a member of any City board or commission who is not throughout his term of service, a resident of the City unless Council, by resolution, states otherwise.
(b) No member of Council or other City officer or employee shall serve as a member of any City board or commission except as is specifically provided for in this article.
(c) No member of any board or commission shall receive any compensation for his services, but he shall be reimbursed for any necessary expenses actually incurred by him in the performance of his official duties. Any board or commission, itself incurring or requiring the expenditure of funds in connection with its official duties, shall request the same from the director of the department to which the board or commission is attached. It shall be the duty of any such director to provide for such expenses and expenditures in his budget request for each fiscal year and to designate such provision as being for the work of the board or commission and its members involved.
(d) The terms of all members of the City Planning Commission, Recreation Commission, and Zoning Hearing Board shall be on a staggered basis; that is, appointment for the initial terms of the members of the Planning Commission and Recreation Commission shall be for one, two, three, four and five years with all subsequent appointments to be for terms of five years. Appointment for the initial terms of the members of the Zoning Hearing Board shall be for one, two and three years with all subsequent appointments to be for terms of three years.
(e) In any case where appointment to any board or commission is made by the Mayor with the advice and consent of Council, except for appointments to the Zoning Hearing Board, the appointee may be removed at the pleasure of the Mayor and the vacancy thus created filled for the balance of the unexpired term. Where an appointment to a board or commission is made exclusively by Council, an appointee may be removed at the pleasure of Council and the vacancy thus created filled for the balance of the unexpired term.
