A. The term of the members of the commission shall be four (4) years. In the event that a vacancy shall occur during the term of any appointed member, a successor shall be appointed by the town council to serve the unexpired portion of the term. Any appointment made to fill a vacancy on the commission shall be made in compliance with the requirements of section 9.4 of the town charter.

B. In order to allow for more direct citizen participation in Town government, no member of the commission shall serve more than two (2) consecutive four-year terms in office, and no member of the commission shall be reappointed to the commission if he or she has already completed two (2) 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 B.

C. The members of the commission who are in office on January 1, 2018, shall be subject to subsection B of this section when their current terms of office expire. Subsection B of this section shall not be applied to shorten the term of any member of the commission. In 2018 and 2019, no person shall be reappointed to the commission who has at that time served eight (8) or more consecutive years on the commission.

D. A person who is term-limited under subsection B of this section may not be appointed to the commission until four (4) years have expired following the end of term of office that resulted in the person being term-limited.

E. A person who is term-limited under subsection B of this section may be appointed to serve out the remainder of another person's term of office on 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.
