Term
Appointments to boards, committees and task forces are for no more than one year. All appointments end at the Town Council’s annual organizational meeting in December. This does not prevent an appointee from serving consecutive terms.

Vacancies
The Town Council fills all vacant terms of board and committee members. The board chairperson may declare a board or committee seat vacant if a member moves out of the town, fails to attend three regularly scheduled consecutive meetings, or violates North Carolina and/or Town of Pleasant Garden ethics laws. Each board may recommend replacements and/or additions to its committees as necessary. Failure to attend three regularly scheduled consecutive meetings will not result in a council, board or committee seat being declared vacant if the member provides a written medical excuse from a medical doctor.
