At the first meeting of the Commission the members thereof, except the ex officio members, shall choose their terms of office by lot as follows: one for one year, two for two years, two for three years, and two for four years. Immediately thereafter, the members shall notify the Council in writing of such allotment. Their successors shall hold office for four years; vacancies shall be filled by the City Council for the unexpired portion of the vacant term. A member may be removed by the City Council after hearing for misconduct or nonperformance of duty. Three consecutive unexcused absences for any commissioner shall constitute an automatic resignation and the position is then vacant. An unexcused absence is any absence from a regular or special meeting of the Commission without the prior authorization from the Commission Chair. Should the Chair require an absence, the Chair must report such in advance to the City Manager. Members must live in or have a business in Wood Village to be eligible to serve, and shall constitute an automatic resignation for any member who does not live or have a business in the City, and the position is then vacant. (Ord. 3-2020, 2020; Ord. 14-2010, 2010; Ord. 1-1974 § 3, 1974.)
