(A) The Commission shall consist of seven members appointed as follows: four by the Bracken County Judge, one of which must be provided to him by the Mayor of Germantown; two by the Mayor of the city of Augusta; one by the Mayor of the city of Brooksville. All are subject to the approval of their respective legislative bodies. Provided, however, should one or more of the aforementioned cities fail to become a party to this agreement or, having done so, subsequently withdraw therefrom, the number of members on the Commission shall be reduced from seven by the number of appointees the mayor of such city is authorized to appoint.
(B) At the first meeting of the Commission, the citizen members shall draw lots to determine the term of office of each. The drawing shall be so designed that a proportionate number of the citizen members shall serve one, two, three and four years respectively. In the event the number of citizen members does not divide evenly by four the longer term or terms shall have the greater number of positions.
(1) Upon expiration of the term of each citizen member, his successor shall be appointed by the officer who made his original appointment.
(2) All terms shall initially be deemed to commence even though the appointments are made prior to said date and the Commission commences operation prior thereto.
(C) All initial appointments shall be made forthwith upon signature hereto by each signatory possessing a right of appointment. The Commission shall be deemed established and may commence business upon the appointment of three (3) members. Any signatory whose Mayor or judge possesses a right of appointment and for which no appointment is made, shall be deemed to have withdrawn from this agreement.
