Composition
The authority shall consist of five directors. In addition the authority will include a representative of each political subdivision:
- Caroline County
- Henderson
- Marydel
- Templeville
Maryland State law requires that entities such as the Authority have five or more Directors. The Authority was formed with five Directors; when the number of member political jurisdictions was reduced to four, the member jurisdictions began rotating the appointment of the fifth Director from the member political jurisdictions on an annual basis. The governing body of each jurisdiction appoints the fifth Director to serve a term of one year.
Election
The governing body of each member jurisdiction appoints its own Director to serve on the Authority. Officers of the Authority are elected annually by the Directors at the Annual Meeting in June.
Term of Office
Directors are appointed to 3-year terms, with the exception of the annual rotating Director, who serves a term of one year.
