additional member. The additional member shall be a resident of either of the
service areas of the two (2) member entities.

Terms shall commence from the first day of the month when the order
establishing the commission was entered. Upon the expiration of a
commissioner's term, a successor shall be appointed in the manner of the

balance of the unexpired term.
