EXHIBIT “A” 
 
§ 154.036  PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION. 
 
(B)   Membership. 
      (1)   The Planning and Zoning Commission shall consist of five members, who shall 
be residents of the city, representing, insofar as possible, different professions or 
occupations. Members shall be appointed with the approval of a majority vote of the City 
Council. Insofar as possible, appointment of members shall be made so as to constitute 
equal representation for all areas within the city. Members of the Planning and Zoning 
Commission shall serve without pay or compensation of any kind and shall hold no 
other municipal or county office, except that one member may serve on the Board of 
Adjustment.  THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL MAY APPOINT UP TO TWO ALTERNATE 
MEMBERS FOR THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION, WHO SHALL BE NON-
VOTING MEMBERS UNLESS ONE OR MORE VOTING MEMBERS ARE NOT PRESENT 
FOR A SCHEDULED AND AGENDIZED MEETING, AT WHICH TIME THE CHAIR, OR 
IF NOT PRESENT THE VICE-CHAIR, SHALL CALL UP THE NUMBER OF ALTERNATE 
MEMBERS NECESSARY TO REPLACE THE ABSENT MEMBERS FOR DISCUSSION, 
DELIBERATION AND VOTING ON AGENDA ITEMS. ANY APPLICANT WHOSE ITEM 
IS ON AN AGENDA FOR WHICH ONE OR MORE ALTERNATE MEMBERS IS CALLED 
TO SIT IN ON A MEETING MAY REQUEST THAT HIS OR HER ITEM BE CONTINUED 
TO THE NEXT SCHEDULED MEETING OF THE BOARD, COMMITTEE OR 
COMMISSION AND SUCH REQUEST SHALL BE GRANTED BY THE CHAIR OR VICE-
CHAIR AS THE CASE MAY BE. 
 
      (2)   Within six months of a Planning and Zoning Commission rotation vacancy, the 
City Clerk shall prepare and implement a recruitment campaign through posting the 
availability in a local newspaper for one day of two consecutive weeks, publishing 
notifications on all social media, digital boards, and the City Website, including flyers in 
utility billings, and physically posting notifications at the County Library branch, Utility 
Services Office, and the City Hall Exterior Bulletin Board. Each applicant shall be 
required to fill out a Planning and Zoning Commissioner Application (either a hard copy 
or on-line) and return it to the City Clerk no later than the noted deadline. The 
applications will be reviewed by the Commissioner Review Board, followed by candidate 
interviews, and the Commissioner Review Board will make recommendations for 
approval to Council for filling rotation vacancies. 
      (3)   The Commission Review Board shall be made up of three Council members 
appointed by Council. 
   (C)   Term of office.  THE TERM OF OFFICE OF MEMBERS OF THE PLANNING AND 
ZONING COMMISSION SHALL BE TWO FOUR YEARS, PROVIDING THAT THE

APPOINTMENTS MADE UNDER THIS AMENDED CHAPTER SHALL BE TWO FOR 
ONE  FOURYEARS AND THREE FOR TWO YEARS, WITH THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF 
APPOINTMENT BEING JULY 1, 2022. ALTERNATE MEMBERS SHALL BE APPOINTED 
FOR FOUR-YEAR TERMS.  Members may be reappointed. All members shall hold office 
until their successors are appointed. Any member of the Planning and Zoning 
Commission may be removed with the consent of a majority vote of the City Council for 
inefficiency, neglect of duty, malfeasance in office, or other good and sufficient cause. 
Failure to attend three regular meetings in a fiscal year and/or three special meetings or 
any combination thereof resulting in the absence of three consecutive meetings in a 
fiscal year will be considered cause for removal. Vacancies occurring other than through 
the expiration of the term shall be filled for the unexpired term by the Mayor with the 
approval of a majority vote of the City Council.
