The qualifications for any person to hold an elective office of the city shall be as follows:

C. A council member who has been elected or appointed to four four-year terms whether consecutive or not, shall not be eligible to be a candidate for election to the office of council member again. A council member elected or appointed to serve two years or more of an unexpired term shall have that term counted as a "four-year term" for purposes of this section. A council member elected or appointed to serve less than two years of an unexpired term shall not have that term counted as a "four-year term."
