Each member shall be and remain a registered voter within the City and no member shall be an employee of the city. Notwithstanding, the foregoing, the Mayor and City Council may establish the Downtown Advisory Committee by resolution and may permit the appointment of non-city resident business professionals (i.e., local businesses) to the committee so long as the non-city residents each have an active business license with the city and collectively make up less than twenty-five percent (25%) of that committee. Members shall serve, without compensation, at the pleasure of the Mayor and City Council. Any member no longer holding the qualifications required for appointment shall cease to serve as a member, and such a member’s position shall be deemed vacant.
