Number of Members & Term of Office:  The Board consists of five members serving three-year terms.  Three of the five members are appointed by the City; each Township appoints one member.  The governing body of each local unit may also appoint up to two alternate board members for each board member it appoints.  The term of office of each alternate will coincide with the terms of office of Board members.  If a member resigns, their alternate would serve until the term expires or the municipality appoints another.
