COMPOSITION; TERM. (a) The board must be composed of nine trustees appointed by the governing body of the municipality. One of the trustees must be a member of the municipality's governing body. (b) Trustees serve for staggered terms of two years. Terms expire on the anniversary of the date of appointment, except as provided by Subsection (d). (c) In appointing the initial board, the governing body shall designate five trustees to serve for terms of two years and four trustees to serve for terms of one year. (d) The governing body by ordinance may set a date other than the date of appointment as the date on which trustees' terms expire. If the board is in existence at the time the ordinance is adopted, the governing body must implement the new expiration date by reducing the terms of trustees to conform to the new date. However, the expiration date may not be set on a date that would require the governing body to reduce terms by more than 60 days. An ordinance may not be adopted under this subsection more often than once in any five-year period. Acts 1987, 70th Leg., ch. 149, Sec. 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1987.
