20 days of the date of the appointment of new members and organize
by electing a Chairman and Vice Chairman and shall file in the Town

B.
Meetings of the Parking and Traffic Committee shall
be held on the call of the Chairman or as otherwise provided by the
Committee.

No meeting of the Parking and Traffic Committee shall
be held without a quorum of five members. The Committee shall act
by majority vote of the members present and voting and shall follow
the most recent edition of Robert's Rules of Order.
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
for the unexpired term. A vacancy shall occur upon the resignation
or death of any member or when any member fails to attend at least
75% of all meetings during the preceding twelve-month period. When
a vacancy occurs, the Chairman of the Committee shall immediately
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.
