2-2-3-1: TERM LIMITS:
A. In order to allow for more direct citizen participation in Town government, no member of the Planning Commission shall serve more than three (3) consecutive four-year terms in office, and no member of the Planning Commission shall be reappointed to the commission if he or she has already completed three (3) consecutive four-year terms in office. Time served on the commission resulting from an appointment made by the town council to fill a vacancy on the commission does not count in determining compliance with the limitation of this subsection A.
B. The members of the commission who are in office when subsection A of this section is adopted shall be subject to subsection A of this section when their current terms of office expire. No member of the commission may be reappointed if such action would violate subsection A of this section. Subsection A of this section shall not be applied to shorten the term of any member of the Planning Commission.
C. A person who is term-limited under subsection A of this section may not be appointed to the Planning Commission until four (4) years have expired following the end of term of office that resulted in the person being term-limited.
D. A person who is term-limited under subsection A of this section may be appointed to fill a vacancy and serve out the remainder of the term of office of a member of the commission even though four (4) years have not expired following the end of term of office that resulted in the person being term- limited.
