(a) In addition to the Regular Members, there shall be two alternate members (the “Alternate Members”) to act as substitutes for the Regular Members.
(b) When a Regular Member knows that he will be absent from or will have to abstain from any proceeding at a meeting, he shall notify the chairman of the Board, at least 24 hours prior to the meeting, of such fact. If the chairman believes that the absence will cause lack of a quorum, the chairman may select an Alternate Member to serve in the absent or abstaining Regular Member's place and the records of the Board shall so note.
(c) The Alternate Member may vote in any proceeding in which the Regular Member is absent or abstains.
(d) Initially, one Alternate Member was appointed for a term of one year and the other Alternate Member was appointed for a term of two years. Thereafter, as the terms of the initial appointees expire, their successors are appointed for terms of three years.
(e) The Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County shall appoint the Alternate Members as their terms expire. Any vacancy of the Alternate Members shall be filled for the unexpired term by the Board of Supervisors of Loudoun County.
