One member shall be a member of the Township Committee who shall serve until December 31 of each year in which he/she was appointed. The remaining nine members shall be residents of the Township and shall serve for a three-year term; however, each member shall initially serve only until December 31 of the year of their initial appointment.

Subsequently, each appointment of the nine general members shall be for a three-year term. A vacancy on the Committee occurring other than by expiration of a term shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as the original appointment.
