A. Vacancies on said commission shall be filled in accordance with the provisions outlined in Section 3.78.010 herein. Vacancies on the board shall result when a member notifies the City Clerk of their resignation, or when an elected board member moves and establishes residence outside of their election district.

B. When the position of an appointed board member is vacant, the original appointing councilmember shall fill the vacancy, the new appointee serving to finish the unexpired term of the appointment. Vacancies in any elected commission position shall be filled by an appropriate elected alternate; when no alternate is available, the vacancy shall be filled by the remaining elected commission members, who shall recommend to the council the person to fill out the term of the appointment.

C. An elected member of the commission shall also be removed when they are absent from three consecutive regular meetings of the commission. After a member has been absent from two consecutive regular meetings, the secretary advises the member that absence from three consecutive meetings of the commission will result in automatic termination. There is no provision for excused absences. Within one week of the third consecutive absence the commission secretary notifies the City Clerk of the three absences. The appointment expires on the date the fact of the third absence is reported to the City Clerk. Within one week the City Clerk notifies the commission member that their term has expired and the councilmember or council, as appropriate, that a vacancy exists on the board and that an appointment should be made to fill such vacancy.
