    The council does create a rent review commission, consisting of five members, the membership of which shall be appointed by the council to serve at the council's pleasure.

    B.

    One member shall be a tenant and shall be selected by the council from a list of no more than three applicants supplied through a tenants' association, if there is one, or selected by the council from any tenant if no tenants' association exists.

    C.

    One member shall be an owner and shall be selected by the council from a list of no more than three applicants supplied through the owners' association, if there is one, or selected by the council from any owner if no owners' association exists.

    D.

    The third, fourth and fifth members shall be neither mobile park tenants, owners, operators or managers and shall be selected by the council from a list of applicants at large.

    1.

    The city council may, at its discretion, designate an alternate to the third, fourth and fifth members of the commission, who shall be neither a mobile park tenant, owner, operator or manager and who shall be entitled to serve in the event of the inability to act of either the third, fourth or fifth member of the mobile home rent review commission at any hearing held pursuant to the provisions of this chapter;

    2.

    Said alternate shall be entitled to sit during all deliberations, but shall not have the right to take part in any deliberations, except and in the event of the inability of either the third, fourth or fifth member to act or be present during the deliberations. Said alternate's right to serve shall terminate upon the expiration of the hearing for which said alternate is appointed;

    3.

    The alternate, while being present, shall be entitled to the same fee that a regular member would receive;

    4.

    The appointment of the alternate may be made without the council following its usual procedures for appointments to boards and commissions.

    E.

    Each member shall be a resident of city at the time of appointment and during service as a member of the commission, except that the owner's representative selected need not be a resident of city at the time of appointment or during service as a member of the commission.

    F.

    Commissioners shall serve for terms of three years except that of those members first appointed by the council.

A member chosen to fill a vacancy created other than by expiration of a term shall be appointed for the unexpired term of the member who is succeeded. A member of the commission shall be eligible for reappointment until a member has served two full terms. A vacancy in the commission shall not impair the right of the remaining members to exercise the powers of the commission. Three members shall constitute a quorum, provided that the tenant member and the owner member are present. Three affirmative votes are required for a ruling or decision.

    G.

    Commissioners shall not be compensated for their service on the commission.
