A. Appointments to all city commissions, boards and committees, shall be made by the following process:
1. Five-Member Commissions, Boards or Committees.
a. Each city council member will appoint one commissioner, board member or committee member. If after a reasonable amount of time (not to exceed forty-five days after an election is certified or vacancy otherwise exists), a city council member has failed to make an appointment, the appointment will be made by a majority vote of the city council and the appointee shall continue for the duration of the term of office of the city council member who failed to make the appointment and shall not be removed from office except by majority vote of the city council. When the term of a commissioner, board member, or committee member appointed by the majority vote of the city council expires or the member's seat becomes vacant, the original council member who failed to appoint that member shall regain the ability to make an appointment for that particular commission, board, or committee.
b. This subsection will not apply to the planning commission where instead commissioners will be chosen pursuant to an application, interview, and appointment process set by city council resolution.
2. Seven-Member Commissions, Boards or Committees.

When the term of a commissioner, board member, or committee member appointed by the majority vote of the city council expires or the member's seat becomes vacant, the original council member who failed to appoint that member shall regain the ability to make an appointment for that particular commission, board, or committee.
b. The remaining two members will be appointed by majority vote of the city council for a two year term. If the member's seat becomes vacant during the term, a new member will be appointed by a majority vote of the city council to serve out the remainder of the term. c. This subsection will not apply to the community policy advisory, traffic and code enforcement commission where instead each council member will appoint one commissioner, the city manager will appointment one commissioner, and the chief of police will appoint one commissioner.

2. The city clerk shall promptly advise the city council of any unscheduled vacancy whether due to resignation, death, termination or other causes.
a.

Final appointment to the board, commission or committee shall not be made by the city council for at least ten working days after the posting of the notice in the city clerk's office. b. Notwithstanding subsection (C)(2)a of this section, the city council may, if it finds that an emergency exists, fill the unscheduled vacancy immediately. Such emergency appointments shall be made by the mayor with the approval of the city council. A person appointed to fill the vacancy shall serve only on an acting basis until the final appointment is made pursuant to this section.
3.
