(1) The governing body of each county included in a regional housing authority shall appoint one (1) person as a member of such authority, and each such member to be first appointed by the governing body of a county may be appointed at or after the time of the adoption of the resolution declaring the need for such regional housing authority or declaring the need for the inclusion of such county in the area of operation of such regional housing authority. When the area of operation of a regional housing authority is increased to include an additional county or counties as provided above, the governing body of each such county shall thereupon appoint one (1) additional person as a member of the regional housing authority. The governing body of each county shall appoint the successor of the member appointed by it. If any county is excluded from the area of operation of a regional housing authority, the office of the member of such regional housing authority appointed by the governing body of such county shall be thereupon abolished.

(2) No more than four (4) of the members of the authority shall be affiliated with the same political party.

(3) If the area of operation of the regional housing authority consists at any time of an even number of counties, the members of the regional housing authority appointed by the governing bodies of such counties shall appoint one (1) additional member whose term of office shall be as herein provided for a member of a regional housing authority except that such term shall end at any earlier time that the area of operation of the regional housing authority shall be changed to consist of an odd number of counties. The members of such authority appointed by the governing bodies of such counties shall likewise appoint each person to succeed such additional member; provided, that the term of office of such person begins during the terms of office of the members appointing him.

(4) The members of a regional housing authority shall be appointed for terms of four (4) years except that all vacancies shall be filled by the appointing authority for the unexpired term.
