  • (a)

    Five voting members of the planning and zoning commission shall be appointed during odd-numbered years, and four voting members shall be appointed during even-numbered years. One voting member shall be appointed from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and the remaining members shall be appointed from within the corporate limits of the city. Additionally, at least one voting member shall be a representative of the real estate, development or building industry, who is not an employee or official of a political subdivision or governmental entity. Terms of voting members shall begin on January 1 and extend for two calendar years.

    (b)

    The city council shall appoint seven of the voting commission members. The city manager shall nominate, subject to city council confirmation, two voting members. One of the city manager's nominees shall be a representative of the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction and the other shall be a representative of the real estate, development or building industry, who is not an employee or official of a political subdivision or governmental entity. In making the initial appointments, the city council shall designate four of their appointments to serve two years and three of their appointments to serve one year. The city manager shall designate which of his initial nominees are to serve for a two-year term and which shall serve for a one-year term. Thereafter all appointments shall be for two years. However, the city council may remove a member at any time by a vote of the city council in public session.

    (c)

    As the terms of office of the individual members terminate, the city council shall, as soon as possible, appoint members and/or confirm the city manager's and/or mayor's appointment to fill such vacancies for the new terms. The council, if interim vacancies occur, shall appoint or confirm the city manager's or mayor's appointment of a successor for the remainder of the term.
