Jimbo had indicated he would be willing to go for an elected seat next year. If so, he would liberate an appointed seat in june.
I would advise against Jimbo standing for election. He would, without doubt, get elected, so there is really no point and it just removes a genuine elected position, giving the community less control over the board. He should just be appointed each time his term expires, as long as the rest of the board have faith in him (if the community loses faith in him, then we can expect them to elect people who will oppose his appointment).
