The Planning Commission procedures do not specifically address the replacement of a Chairperson who resigns, other than to say in the absence of the Chairperson, the Vice-Chairperson shall fill in. Each year the Planning Commission elects a Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson to serve for a term of one year.
