THE COUNCIL: <br />The Council shall be comprised of seven councilmen, <br />including the Mayor, and shall be the legislative body <br />of the city, each of the members of which, including the <br />Mayor, shall have the right to vote upon all questions <br />before it. <br />Councilmen shall be elected at each general municipal <br />election and shall hold office for the term of four (4) <br />years from and after the Monday next succeeding the day <br />of such election, and until their successors are elected <br />and qualified. The councilmen in office at the time of <br />this charter taking effect shall continue in office until <br />the end of the terms for which they were respectively <br />elected. <br />Any vacancy occurring in the Council shall be filled <br />by appointment by the remaining councilmen; but in the <br />event that said remaining councilmen fail to fill such <br />vacancy by appointment within sixty (60) days after <br />vacancy occurs, they must immediately cause an election <br />to be held to fill such vacancy; provided, however, that <br />any person appointed to fill such vacancy shall hold office <br />only until the next regular election, at which date a <br />person shall be elected to serve for the remainder of <br />such unexpired term. In case a member of the Council is <br />absent from the city for a period of ninety (90) days, <br />unless by permission of the Council, his office shall by <br />the Council be declared vacant and the same filled as in <br />the case of other vacancies. <br />The councilmen shall receive as compensation <br />seventy-five dollars ($75) per month. <br />- 5 - <br />
