The legislative body may, either at the time of the adoption of the ordinance declaring the need for an agency or at any time thereafter, adopt an ordinance increasing to seven the number of members to be appointed to the agency. Upon the exercise of such option by the legislative body, the membership of the agency shall remain at seven.
