There will be five members, four of whom are elected by the Town.
The fifth is appointed by the Massachusetts Department of Housing
and Community Development. At creation of the Authority, members will
be appointed by the Select Board; these individuals will serve until
members are elected at the next Town election.
As terms expire, successors will be appointed or elected in the same
way, but for a term of five years. Membership is restricted to residents
of the Town. Vacancies, aside from the expiration of terms, will be
filled/appointed by the Select Board until new members can be elected
at the next Town election.
