(A) Alternate members of the Board shall be appointed for three year terms at the time for appointment of regular members, provided, however, that in the case of the first appointment of alternate members, the appointment shall be for terms which shall expire at the next time when the term of any regular member expires. Alternate members shall be called on to attend only those meetings and hearings at which one or more regular members are absent or are unable to participate in hearing a case because of financial or other interest. Regular members, on receiving notice of a special meeting that they cannot attend or on learning that they will be unable to participate in a particular case, shall give prompt notice to the Board Secretary that they are unable to attend or to participate. On receiving such notice, the Secretary shall, by the most expeditious means, notify an alternate member to attend. Assignments shall be rotated among the alternate members. At any meeting that they are called on to attend, alternate members shall have the powers and duties as regular members.
(B) Except at the election of officers, at no times shall more than five members participate officially in any meeting or hearing.
