 Section II.

An appointed member’s term shall expire after two years. Any member in good standing in accordance with Section III and Section IV of this article may be appointed to consecutive terms.

If a member is separated from the agency from which they represent, they may remain on the LEPC if their new position is a similar position in industry or government and the current LEPC agrees by majority. If these conditions do not apply then they will be removed from the LEPC in that position. This rule will supersede any unfilled term and result in a vacancy (see Section V of this article).

Section III.

Members shall remain in good standing unless three consecutive LEPC meetings are missed without notification to the LEPC chair regarding the reasons for the absence. After three consecutive unexcused absences of the member or the alternate, the member’s position shall be considered vacant.

Section IV.

All members of the LEPC shall serve at the pleasure of the Randolph County Board of Commissioners and the North Carolina Emergency Response Commission.

Section V.

Vacancies in Voting Membership of the LEPC shall be filled in accordance with Section I of this Article.

Anyone who wishes to join the LEPC as a general member must fill out a Membership Application which can be found on the LEPC website, or may request one from the Chairman. All General Membership Applications will be approved by the Voting Membership.
