When there is a permanent vacancy among the
at-large members of the Parking and Traffic Committee, the Town Council
shall, within 60 days of its occurrence, appoint a person to serve

so advise the Town Council in writing. The Committee may recommend
to the Town Council that the attendance provision be waived for cause,
in which case no vacancy will then exist until the Town Council rejects
the recommendation.
