The first members appointed under this chapter shall be appointed for the following terms of office:

B. Thereafter, each member appointed shall serve in office for a term of five years, the method of appointment to remain the same. The terms of office shall not be deemed permanent. The city council may, after a due hearing, retire any member at any time if it deems that such action would be to the best interests of the department, and may appoint a successor for the unexpired term of office of such retired member. Members shall be privileged to voluntarily retire from the commission at any time. All vacancies shall be filled by majority vote of the city council. (Ord. 18 §1, 1946).
