The governing body may remove any clerk appointed to any of their committees from office at any time.
A clerk appointed to a committee of the governing body must—
convene meetings of the committee;
attend meetings of the committee and ensure that minutes of the proceedings are drawn up; and
perform such other tasks with respect to that committee as may be determined by the governing body from time to time.
