§1151: MEMBERS; APPOINTMENT:
Said commission shall consist of five (5) members who shall be registered voters
of the city. At or near the beginning of his or her four year term of office, each
member of the City Council may nominate one commissioner who shall be
appointed to the commission, if approved by a majority vote of the City Council.
Each commissioner's term of office shall coincide with the four year term of office
of the City Council member who nominated him or her, regardless of whether
that City Council member serves his or her full four year term.
If a commissioner vacates his or her office before the expiration of his or her term
of office, the City Council member who nominated that commissioner (or a City
Council member elected or appointed to fill the remaining unexpired term of
office of the City Council member who appointed the commissioner) may
nominate a replacement to serve the remainder of that commissioner's term of
office, who shall be appointed, if the nomination is approved by a majority vote of

she may nominate additional candidates, one at a time, until one of them is
appointed by a majority vote of the City Council. Commissioners shall be
nominated and voted upon at a single City Council meeting, unless a different
procedure is approved by a majority vote of the City Council. If a City Council
member fails to nominate a commissioner within sixty (60) days after the vacancy
occurs, a majority of the City Council shall fill the vacancy following the
procedure used to appoint members to other city commissions and boards.
