                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

BOARD OF DIRECTORS; MEMBERSHIP (§ 15.2-7205)

A. The powers of the Authority shall be vested in the Authority Board of
Directors consisting of five directors. The number of directors shall not be
altered by the Authority Board.

B. The Authority Board shall be constituted as follows:

   1. One director who is a citizen of the City of Bristol, Virginia, and is not
   a member of the Bristol City Council, appointed by the Speaker of the House of
   Delegates.

   2. One director who is a member of the Bristol City Council, appointed by the
   Bristol City Council to serve a four-year term coterminous with his term on
   the Council.

   3. One director who is a citizen of Washington County and is not a member of
   the Washington County Board of Supervisors, appointed by the Senate Committee
   on Rules.

   4. One director who is a citizen of the City of Bristol, Virginia, who is
   engaged in business and is not a member of the Bristol City Council, appointed
   by the Authority Board. However, the first such director shall be appointed by
   the Bristol City Council for a term that ends the sooner of July 1, 2017, or
   the date upon which the Authority Board appoints a director to this position
   to serve the remainder of the initial four-year term. The Authority Board
   shall appoint a director to this position thereafter.

   5. One director who is a member of the Washington County, Virginia, Board of
   Supervisors, appointed by the Washington County Board of Supervisors to serve
   a four-year term coterminous with his term on the Board of Supervisors.

C. The four-year term of all directors shall begin July 1, 2016. The term of
Authority Board membership for any director thereafter shall be four years.

D. Each director who is a member of the Bristol City Council or Washington
County Board of Supervisors may serve as many terms as the appointing governing
body decides as long as the appointee remains a member of the relevant governing
body. The governing body may appoint a different member of the Council or Board
of Supervisors at the end of any appointee&#8217;s four-year Council or Board
term or upon the exit of the member from the governing body. In the latter case,
the new appointee shall serve for the remainder of the term vacated by an
exiting member of the governing body.

E. If funds are available, each director may be reimbursed by the Authority for
the amount of actual expenses incurred by him in the performance of his duties.
Such expense allowance shall constitute a cost of operation and maintenance of
such utility systems and shall be prorated among each of the systems it manages
using the &#8220;Three-Factor&#8221; allocation method approved by the
Commission. The three factors consist of the percentages that each division
comprises of total plant in service, total operating revenues, and total
customer accounts. Once each operating division&#8217;s percentage of each of
the three factors is calculated, the sum of the three factors divided by three
results in the operating division&#8217;s share of the total direct or indirect
costs.
