(A) Of those Council members elected at the June 1977 election, those three Council members receiving the three largest numbers of votes shall serve four-year terms, and those three receiving the three lowest numbers of votes shall serve two-year terms, but thereafter all successors elected to a regular term shall serve four years, so that the election shall comply with this chapter.
(B) The determination of which Council member shall serve four-year terms and which Council member shall serve an initial two-year term beginning in 1977 shall be as follows: if three or more candidates receive a majority vote in the first election, then of those, the three receiving the largest number of votes cast in the first election shall serve four-year terms; if less than three candidates receive a majority vote in the first election, those so elected shall serve four-year terms and the vacant four-year terms shall be filled by those elected and receiving the largest votes in the second or subsequent elections equal to the number of vacancies to be filled; the remaining three elected Council members shall serve terms of two years.
