directors.
The fiscal court shall determine the composition of the board of directors in one (1)
of the following ways:
(a) Appointment of the county judge/executive of every county, or portion of a
county, within that district and the mayor of the most populous city in each
county. Appointment of a third member from each county in the district so
that representation on the board shall be in proportion to the urban-rural
population distribution in the county. The county judge/executive and the
mayor may delegate a representative to serve in their stead.
