created as authorized by applicable Wisconsin Statutes. The Zoning Board of
Appeals shall consist of five (5) members appointed by the Mayor subject to
confirmation by the Common Council for terms of three (3) years,
commencing from noon on the third Tuesday of April 1960, except that of those
first appointed, one shall serve for one year, two for two years, and two
for three years. The members of the board shall be removable by the Mayor for
cause upon written charges and after public hearing. The Mayor shall designate
one of the members as chairman. The board may employ a secretary and other
employees. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired terms of members
whose terms become vacant. The Mayor may shall appoint, for staggered
terms of three years, two alternate members of such board in addition to the
five members above provided for. Annually, the Mayor shall designate one of the
alternate members as first alternate and the other as second alternate. The first
alternate shall act, with full power, only when a member of such board refuses
to vote because of interest or when a member is absent....
