appointment. Each member shall hold office until his successor has been duly appointed except
when removed by the village council, and any member may be removed at any time by a
majority vote of the village council. Appointments to fill a vacancy shall be for the remainder of
the unexpired term. If any member fails to attend two of three successive meetings without
cause or notice,the commission shall declare the member's office vacant, and the village council
shall promptly fill such vacancy for the remainder of the term.
2) Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary, commission members commencing a non-
consecutive term after January 1, 2016 shall serve no more than four consecutive terms.
Incumbent commission members holding office on January 1, 2016, regardless of their prior
length of service, may continue to serve on the commission until their then existing term expires
and shall be eligible for reappointment by the council. Such reappointment would be deemed
the individual's second term with respect to the term limits set forth herein. Commission
members may serve no more than four consecutive two-year terms. Term limited individuals
shall vacate their position for a minimum of one regular term before becoming eligible for
reappointment to the Fine Arts Commission.
