A. The Trust Authority shall be composed of from nine to
twenty-one trustees, to be determined by the board of county
commissioners in multiples of three. Each county commissioner shall
appoint the same number of trustees for three-year terms and such
terms shall be staggered, all subject to confirmation by the board
of county commissioners.
B. It is the legislative intent that the appointment of
trustees made by the commissioners, insofar as possible, shall
represent the full geographical area of the county and all areas of
participation in the fair and fairground operations. As soon as
practicable after the act becomes in force and effect, the board of
county commissioners of any such county shall appoint the trustees
of the Trust Authority as provided in this subsection, and the terms
of such trustees shall be as follows:
1. The first one-third of said trustees appointed shall serve
for an initial term of one (1) year each from the date of their
appointment;
2. The next one-third of said trustees shall serve for an
initial term of two (2) years from the date of their appointment;
and
3. The next one-third of said trustees shall serve for an
initial term of three (3) years from the date of their appointment.
C. After expiration of the initial terms, the term of said
trustees shall be three (3) years.
D. All trustees of the Trust Authority shall serve as such
without compensation, and the appointed trustees shall hold no other
municipal, county, state or federal elective office.
E. A vacancy occurring other than through the expiration of a
term shall be filled for the remainder of the unexpired term by the
commissioner who made the appointment that becomes vacant.
