§ 6A. Filling vacancy on City Commission.

In the event of a vacancy occurring in the members of the City Commission, except at the close of a regular term, it shall be the duty of the remaining members at the next regular meeting, or as soon thereafter as possible, following the declaration of such vacancy, to appoint a duly qualified citizen to fill said vacancy until the next municipal election, at which time the balance of the original members term shall be filled by election. In no event shall an appointment or election alter the term of the district seat. Municipal election shall mean the election held on the first Tuesday in November of the calendar year. If a majority of said remaining members are unable to agree upon the selection of a Commissioner to fill said vacancy after two (2) regular meetings have been held, the City Commission shall call a special election for that purpose.
