of the Authority. Of the 2 original members of the Board other than the 
Chairperson, one shall be appointed for a 2-year term and one shall be 
appointed for a 3-year term. Thereafter, each member of the Board other 
than the Chairperson shall be appointed for a term of 3 years, except 
that an individual appointed to fill a vacancy occurring before the end 
of a term shall be appointed for the unexpired term of the member 
replaced. The Chairperson may at any time designate an alternate 
Chairperson from among the members of the Authority.

(c) Vacancies

    A vacancy on the Board shall not impair the right of the remaining

incapacity to perform his or her functions, established at a hearing, 
except where the right to a hearing is waived in writing.
