Okla. Stat. tit. 11, § 11-11-119: Personnel board - Membership and tenure

In a statutory strong-mayor-council city, there shall be a

personnel board consisting of three members elected by the council

for staggered six-year terms. The council shall elect the three

original members so that the term of one member will expire in each

succeeding even-numbered year. The term of their successors shall

be for six (6) years, beginning at 7:30 o'clock p.m. on the first

Monday in May in every even-numbered year. Members shall serve

until their successors are elected and qualified, and they shall

serve without compensation unless the council provides otherwise.

The council, by a vote of a majority of its members, after adequate

opportunity for a public hearing, may remove a member for the good

of the service, and may fill vacancies for the unexpired term.
