     (3) District V, VI and VII on July 1, 1969.

     The respective terms shall end on July 1st of each third year thereafter. Any vacancies that occur on the commission shall be filled by appointment by the other members of the commission, and such appointee shall hold office for the remainder of the term for which he is appointed to fill, so that commission memberships shall be on a uniform staggered basis.

     The term of office of the first dealer appointed by the director shall expire July 1, 1977, and the term of office of the first producer who also acts as a dealer appointed by the director shall expire on July 1, 1978. The term of office of each dealer and each producer who also acts as a dealer shall be three years or until such time as a successor is duly appointed. Any vacancy for a dealer or a producer who also acts as a dealer shall be forthwith filled by the director. The director, in making any appointments set forth herein, may consider lists of nominees supplied him by dealers or producers also acting as dealers.
