The terms of all Class IV members first appointed pursuant to this chapter shall be so structured that to the greatest practicable extent the expiration of such terms shall be evenly distributed over the first four years after their appointment as determined by the Mayor at the time such initial appointments are made provided that no term of any member shall exceed four years and further provided that nothing herein shall affect the term of any present member of the Planning Board, all of whom shall continue in office until the completion of the term for which they were appointed. Except as hereinabove provided, all Class IV members, shall be appointed for terms for four years, all such terms running from January 1 of the calendar year in which the appointment is made.

Following member's absence from four consecutive meetings, that regular member's position on the Planning Board shall be declared vacant following written notice to the Mayor and Township Council provided that the Planning Board may refuse to excuse absences only with respect to those failures to attend and participate which are not due to legitimate illness. Any and all such vacancies shall be filled by appointment as provided for in subsection 25-46.2 above, for the unexpired term.
