have been confirmed. The Commission shall elect a chairman and
vice-chairman from those members designated as above. The chairman
shall preside at meetings of the Commission and perform the other
customary duties of the office. The vice-chairman shall preside in the
absence of the chairman. The chairman and the vice-chairman of the
Commission also serve as chairmen of their respective county planning
boards, as constituted in this
