City planning commission - Membership
Official statutory text
The city planning commission shall consist of nine (9) members
to be appointed by the mayor, if the mayor be an elective officer,
otherwise by such officer as the council may designate as the
appointing power in the ordinance creating the commission. In a
municipality which is divided into wards or other subdivisions for
the election of members of the council, one member shall be
appointed to the planning commission from each of the wards or
subdivisions. All members of the commission shall serve as such
without compensation, and the members shall hold no other municipal
office, except that one member may be a member of the zoning board
of adjustment or appeals and no more than four members may serve on
design committees or commissions. The term of each member shall be
six (6) years or until his or her successor is appointed and
qualified; except that when the commission is first appointed, the
respective terms of three of the members shall be three (3), four
(4) and five (5) years. Members may be removed by the mayor, after
a public hearing, for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance
in office. The mayor shall file a written statement of reasons for
the removal. Vacancies occurring otherwise than through the
expiration of term shall be filled for the unexpired term by the
mayor or by the appointing power designated by the council in
municipalities in which the mayor is not an elective officer.
