APPOINTMENT BY CERTAIN LOCALITIES OF MEMBERS OF CERTAIN BOARDS, AUTHORITIES AND
COMMISSIONS (§ 15.2-505)

The governing body of a county having the county executive form of government
that is adjacent to a county having the urban county executive form of
government may establish different terms of office for initial and subsequent
appointments for those boards, authorities and commissions for which it is given
the authority to appoint members, excluding authorities empowered to issue
certificates of indebtedness.
		The different terms of office for such boards, authorities and commissions
shall be for fixed terms, and such different terms of office may include, but
are not limited to, terms of either two or four years and terms that extend
until July 1 of the year following the year in which there is a regular election

section shall not affect the removal of any member of a board, authority or
commission for incompetency, neglect of duty or misuse of office pursuant to
provisions of general law.
