There is created pursuant to AS 29.40.020 a planning and zoning commission, which shall consist of seven members appointed by the mayor subject to confirmation by the assembly, except that a member from a home rule or first class city shall be selected from a list of recommendations submitted by the council. Commission membership shall be apportioned so that the number of members from home rule or first class cities within the borough reflects the proportion of borough population residing within those cities. Commission membership shall be reapportioned according to the fluctuation of population within the borough and its home rule and first class cities by resolution of the assembly at the expiration of the terms of commission members. Nothing in this section prevents the mayor from appointing additional persons to serve in an advisory or ex officio capacity without regard to apportionment of borough population. [Ord.
