(2) The term of any designee shall expire with the term of the county mayor who appointed such designee. The initial terms of designees, if any, shall be as follows: The initial terms of the designee from Claiborne, Cocke, Grainger and Greene counties shall be one-year terms; the initial terms of the designees from Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins and Jefferson counties shall be two-year terms; and the initial terms of the designee from Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington counties shall be three-year terms.

The board of directors shall at its first meeting of each calendar year elect from its voting membership a chair, a vice chair, a secretary and a treasurer, each to serve terms of one (1) year and until a successor is elected. (4) The term of office of the county mayor on the board shall be coterminous with such official's elective term of office. (b) Should a designee board member attend less than fifty percent (50%) of the called meetings during a calendar year, the board reserves the right to declare a vacancy on the board for that position. The board shall then notify the county mayor who appointed such designee of such vacancy and, if such county mayor fails to appoint a new designee within thirty (30) days, then the board shall by majority vote replace such member with a knowledgeable person from the county for which a vacancy was declared by the board. (c) The board shall meet at least semiannually. More frequent meetings may be called at the discretion of the board.
