Commission shall serve as the staff of the Aquifer Protection Agency.
Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission shall serve coexisting
terms of office on the Aquifer Protection Agency. The membership requirements
of the Aquifer Protection Agency shall be the same as those of the
Planning and Zoning Commission, including but not limited to the number
of members, term of office, method of selection and appointment, method
of removal from office and the filling of vacancies.
