A. If a member of the commission leaves the area with the intent of remaining absent more than 90 days, or fails to attend three consecutive meetings of the commission, the commission may declare the office of that member vacant. A vacancy is also created by the resignation of a member presented in writing and accepted by the commission, or by the death of a member, or by their failure to qualify within 30 days after their appointment.

B. A vacancy is filled by appointment as provided in FNSBC 14.04.090. The person appointed holds office until the term of their predecessor expires.

Any service area commissioner removed for a reasonable cause shall be personally liable for any financial loss suffered by the Borough as a result of the actions for which the commissioner was removed. In order to remove a commissioner for cause, the Mayor shall give written notice to the commissioner of proposed removal. The commissioner shall have the right to submit written evidence to the Mayor in their own defense not more than two weeks after receipt of the notice of proposed removal. The Borough Mayor shall submit to the Assembly their justification for the proposed removal and the written evidence submitted by the commissioner. The Assembly shall, not later than 30 days after the receipt of such information, determine whether or not to remove the service area commissioner.
