resigned or was expelled. The protocol for terms are as follows:
(1) Terms Expiration . Terms for Planning Board members shall expire on the last day of December in the last year of the member's term. All members shall serve until the expiration of their terms or until their successor(s) has been appointed.
(2) Vacancies Prior to Expiration . Vacancies occurring for reasons other than
expiration of terms shall be filled for the period of the unexpired term by the Town Board of Commissioners for members within the corporate limits and by the Wake County Board of the Commissioners for extraterritorial jurisdiction members.
(3) Attendance . It is the responsibility of each Planning Board member to faithfully attend each meeting as a prerequisite to serve in order to maintain continuity and cohesion in the deliberations and recommendations by the Planning Board. A pattern of failure to attend meetings or failure to notify the Clerk to the Planning Board of a member's inability to attend a meeting may be cause for removal. If a member is expelled from the Planning Board, the Town Board of Commissioners shall promptly appoint a new member or recommend a new member if in the extraterritorial jurisdiction, to fill the remainder of the vacated term.
e. Conflict of Interest
A member of the Planning Board shall not vote on any advisory or legislative decision regarding a development regulation adopted pursuant to this Chapter where the outcome of the matter being considered is reasonably likely to have a direct, substantial, and readily identifiable financial impact on the member. A Planning Board member shall not vote on any matter if the landowner of the property subject to a rezoning petition or the applicant for a text amendment is a person with whom the member has a close familial, business, or other associational relationship.
(1) Involuntary Conflict of Interest . If an objection is raised to a member's participation in that member does not recuse himself or herself, the remaining members shall by majority vote rule on the objection.
(2) Voluntary Conflict of Interest . If a Planning Board member voluntarily offers and request that he or she recuse himself or herself from participating and voting on a matter before the Planning Board, the Planning Board shall, by majority vote, rule on the request prior to discussion or voting on such matters.
