1. The members of a commission created to study city- county consolidation or the community commonwealth form shall be appointed within forty-five days after the adoption of a resolution creating the commission as follows:
a. One member shall be appointed by the city council of each city participating in the charter process.
b. One member shall be appointed by the board of each county participating in the charter process. The member must be a resident of the unincorporated area of the county.
c. One member shall be appointed by each state legislator whose legislative district is located in the commission area if a majority of the constituents of that legislative district resides in the commission area. However, if a commission area does not have a state legislative district which has a majority of its constituents residing in the commission area, the legislative district having the largest plurality of constituents residing in the commission area shall appoint one member.
d. An additional member shall be appointed by each city council and each county board for every twenty-five thousand residents in the participating city or unincorporated area of the county, whichever is applicable.
2. The commission members shall be appointed in compliance with section 331.233, subsection 2. A vacancy on the commission shall be filled by appointment in the same manner as the original appointment. The county auditor shall notify the appropriate appointing authority of a vacancy.
3. If at any time during the commission process, the commission adopts a resolution by majority vote to prepare a charter proposing an alternative form other than city-county consolidation or the community commonwealth form, the resolution shall be submitted to the board of supervisors of the participating county, and the board shall proceed pursuant to section 331.233. The life of the commission shall be extended up to six months after the appointment of the new members.
