§ 1924. Membership, appointment, and composition.

(a)

The board of adjustment shall consist of five members, all of whom shall be residents of Jackson County. Each district commissioner shall have one appointment to the board. The planning commission shall appoint from among its membership a fifth member of the board. The terms of the members shall be for four years. Each appointee is subject to approval by, and may be removed for cause, by a majority vote of the Jackson County Board of Commissioners, in a public meeting. Any vacancy in membership shall be filled for the remainder of the term in the same manner as the original appointment.

(b)

If a member of the board of commissioners cannot provide a board of adjustment member or fails to appoint one within 30 days of taking office, or if any seat of the board of commissioners is vacant at the time an appointment is necessary, another elected official may offer a candidate, subject to approval by a majority vote of the board of commissioners. The vacating of any seat of the board of commissioners for any reason shall not affect the remaining term of the board of adjustment member appointed by an elected official who vacates his or her office.
