§ 36-144. Membership; number; appointment generally; term; alternate members.

(a)

The membership of the Authority shall consist of one (1) member from each member municipality of the Authority. Each such member, including each of the first members of the Authority, shall be appointed in the manner set forth in the concurrent ordinance adopted by each member municipality. Members shall serve for terms of three (3) years. Members shall continue to serve until their successors are appointed and have qualified. In no event shall the terms of more than one-half (½) of the members expire simultaneously. If because of the addition or reduction of the number of member municipalities, the terms of more than one-half (½) of the members would expire simultaneously, then the terms of a sufficient number of members shall be automatically extended for a period of one (1) year. Said extensions shall be based upon the alphabetical order of the member municipalities.

(b)

Each member municipality may appoint one (1) alternate member of the Authority who shall act in the event of the disability or absence for any other reason of the member of the municipality. Said alternate representative shall have a voice at authority meetings and vote at authority meetings if the regular representative from said municipality is absent from the meeting.
