Key Takeaways

  • •If someone leaves the commission (like quits, dies, or can't do the job anymore), the commission picks a new person to take their spot.
  • •The new person must meet all the rules to be on the commission, just like the person they're replacing.
  • •The commission checks if the new person is qualified before they can join.

Example

A member of the city planning commission moves to a different city and can't be on the commission anymore.

However, the appointee shall fulfill all the qualifications set forth in this article as required for the office he or she is to occupy. The qualifications of any person to fill a vacancy on the commission shall be certified in writing to the secretary.
