An election is held annually, on the first Tuesday of October, to choose assembly members for three-year terms and until their successors have been elected and have qualified. The regular term of office begins immediately following certification of the election. The assembly may not limit the number of consecutive terms a person may serve on the assembly unless a limit is set by ordinance ratified by the voters. The assembly may provide by ordinance terms not to exceed four years. (Ord. 14-04-375 § 4)
