1. The Nevada Rural Housing Authority, consisting of five commissioners, is hereby created.
2. The commissioners must be appointed as follows:
(a) Two commissioners must be appointed by the Nevada League of Cities.
(b) Two commissioners must be appointed by the Nevada Association of Counties.
(c) One commissioner must be appointed jointly by the Nevada League of Cities and the Nevada Association of Counties. This commissioner must be a current recipient of assistance from the Authority and must be selected from a list of at least five eligible nominees submitted for this purpose by an organization which represents tenants of housing projects operated by the Authority. If no such organization exists, the commissioner must be selected from a list of nominees submitted for this purpose from persons who currently receive assistance from the Authority. If during his or her term the commissioner ceases to be a recipient of assistance, the commissioner may continue to serve as a commissioner for the remainder of the unexpired term for which he or she was appointed if he or she resides within the area of operation of the Authority.
3. After the initial terms, the term of office of a commissioner is 4 years or until his or her successor takes office.
4. A majority of the commissioners constitutes a quorum, and a vote of the majority is necessary to carry any question.
5. If either of the appointing entities listed in subsection 2 ceases to exist, the pertinent appointments required by subsection 2 must be made by the successor in interest of that entity or, if there is no successor in interest, by the other appointing entity.
