Municipalities with populations greater than 10,000, as determined by the last Federal Decennial Census, shall have 2 representatives and an additional representative for each 10,000 increment in population, or fraction exceeding 1/2 of that number, over 10,000. At least one representative for each municipality or township regardless of size must be a municipal officer or a designee elected by a majority vote of the municipal officers. This designee serves at the will of the municipal officers. All other representatives shall serve for terms of 2 years and may be removed by the municipal officers for cause after notice and hearing. A permanent vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as a regular appointment. [PL 1989, c. 6 (AMD); PL 1989, c. 9, §2 (AMD); PL 1989, c. 104, Pt.
