    (d)

    Establishment of unique designations.

    (1)

    Each of the six (6) appointed positions on this Board are assigned a unique designation to facilitate auditing of the appointment process over the course of time. Each designation carries a letter followed by a number. The letter identifies the category of membership: "R" indicating a regular members; and "A" indicating an alternate member. The number following the letter uniquely identifies each position within the respective category.

    (2)

    The initial association of position designations to names of appointed member shall be established by resolution adopted by the appointing authority, the Representative Town Meeting.

    (2)

    Three (3) types of terms are utilized in the subsections below. "Current Term" refers to a term to which someone has been both appointed before January 1, 2018, and which appointment expires after January 1, 2018. "Interim Term" refers to a single term of less than four (4) years and which is used once, as specified in subsection (f)(1), below, to accomplish a staggering of term expiration years of the Board positions for the purpose of limiting the scheduled turnover of Board members in a single year, thus minimizing risk to Board continuity.
