(a)

The planning board shall consist of nine members, all of whom shall reside within the county.

Members of the planning board may, after a public hearing, be removed by the board who appointed them for neglect of duty or malfeasance in office if a written statement of the reasons for such removal is filed with the clerk to the board.
