The County Council of Montgomery County may remove any member of
the Commission appointed from Montgomery County. Removals may occur
prior to the expiration of the term for which they were appointed. The
County Executive of Prince George's County may remove at his pleasure
any members from that county prior to the expiration of the term for
which they were appointed, subject to the approval of the County
Council of Prince George's County by a vote of a majority of the full
Council. In each case, the cause of removal shall be stated in writing
and a public hearing held on the removal. However, in Prince George's
County the Commission member sought to be removed may waive in writing
the public hearing held by the Council. Further, this provision does
not apply to any Prince George's member of the Commission in office on
June 1, 1975 for the member's current term of office. Any vacancy
occurring in the membership of the Commission from Montgomery County
for any cause shall be filled by the County Council for the unexpired
term and any vacancy occurring in the membership of the Commission from
Prince George's County shall be filled in the manner provided in this
title for the making of appointments to the Commission. A person
appointed to fill any vacancy for an unexpired term shall be a member
of the same political party as was represented by the member who
vacated the office.
