  2. Title 2

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.
