The Board of an Authority comprised of combinations of municipalities, as provided in Section 11-48.3-3 of this Division, shall be appointed in the following manner: memberships for the Board shall be apportioned among the member municipalities, as nearly as possible, according to the proportion each municipality's population as determined by the most recent federal census bears to the total population of the metropolitan area as determined by the most recent federal census. The initial terms of such appointees for each such municipality shall then be determined by lot. Each such mayor, with the advice and consent of his or her respective corporate authorities, shall then appoint the members allotted to him or her in the manner provided in this Section.

Within 30 days after certification of his or her appointment, and before entering upon the duties of office, each member of the Board shall take and subscribe the constitutional oath of office and file it in the office of the Secretary of State.
