Although the Oxford English Dictionary does define “citizen” as “an inhabitant of a city or (often) of a town, esp. one possessing civic rights and privileges,” it also contains a definition which uses “citizen” to distinguish between civilians and public officers. It is our opinion that this definition is more consistent with the statute’s intent. Thus we believe that “citizen” is not the same as resident, and the only specific requirement for citizen members is that they be persons of “recognized experience and qualifications.” Several statutes do specifically state that appointees, or a certain number of appointees, must be “residents” and where that term is used, the appointee must actually reside within the city or village.
