(1) Each Pacific Northwest Electric Power and Conservation Planning Council member shall serve a term ending January 15 of the third year following appointment. A council member, except upon removal as provided in ORS 469.830 (2), continues to serve as a member of the council until a successor is appointed and confirmed.\n(2) A council member is eligible for reappointment, subject to Senate confirmation, but no member shall serve more than three consecutive terms. A council member who serves 18 months or more of a term shall be considered to have served a full term. However, with respect to the initial term consisting of two years, a council member who serves 12 months or more shall be considered to have served a full term.\n(3) Within 30 days of the creation of a vacancy in the position of a council member, the Governor shall appoint a person to serve the succeeding term or the remainder of the unexpired term. However, the Governor need not appoint a person to serve the remainder of the unexpired term if the vacancy occurs within 30 days or less of the expiration of the term. [1981 c.49 §5]
