Vacancies for members and for the Chairman shall be filled in the same manner as original appointments for the balance of the unexpired term.
In case of a vacancy in the office of the chairman or of any of the three members of the Board appointed by the Governor during the recess of the Senate, the Governor shall make a temporary appointment until the next meeting of the Senate, when he shall appoint some person to fill such office. Any person so appointed who is confirmed by the Senate shall hold office during the remainder of the term and until his successor is appointed and qualified. The initial appointments by the Governor, including the chairman, shall be effective immediately, but shall remain in effect no longer than 30 calendar days after commencement of the next Senate session unless the appointee is confirmed by the Senate within that time. The appointment of the initial chairman by the Governor shall be subject to the approval of the Mayor of the City of Chicago.
