§ 15.2-5902. Members of Authority; chairman; terms
A. The Authority shall consist of fifteen members appointed by the Governor and subject to confirmation by the General Assembly. The Governor shall consider recommendations from each locality in Planning District 23 before making such appointments. The members of the Authority annually shall elect a chairman and a vice-chairman from their membership; the vice-chairman shall perform the duties of the chairman in his absence.
B. The term of a member of the Authority is four years. However, upon the initial appointment of the members of the Authority, the terms of the members shall be staggered as follows: the initial term of five of the members shall be four years; the initial term of five members shall be three years; and the initial term of the remaining five members shall be two years. The Governor shall designate the initial term to be served by each appointee.
At the end of a term, a member shall continue to serve until a successor is appointed and qualifies. A member who is appointed after a term has begun serves only for the rest of the term and until a successor is appointed and qualifies. The members of the Authority shall receive no compensation for their services, but a member may be reimbursed by the Authority for reasonable expenses actually incurred in the performance of the duties of that office.
