the term for which the member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office as a member

for the remainder of that term.  A member shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of the member's

term until the successor takes office or until a period of sixty days has elapsed,

whichever occurs first. The members of the board, annually, shall elect, by majority vote, a chairperson from

among their members.  The board shall meet at least once annually and at other times at the call of the
