The terms of office of the members of the council shall be three years. Appointments shall be made so that the terms of eight members shall expire at the end of one year, eight at the end of two years, and nine at the end of three years.
The legislature occasionally skips outline levels.
For example:
(3) A person may apply [...]
(4)(a) A person petitioning for relief [...]
In this example, (3), (4),
and (4)(a) are all outline levels, but
(4) was
omitted by its authors. It's only implied. This presents an
interesting challenge when laying out the text. We've
decided to display a blank section with this note, in order
to aide readability.
