The Authority consists of seven members, of whom one is the Sec- retary of Transportation. Of the remaining members, one is the Director of Public Works of Baltimore City. Two members are ap- pointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate for five-year terms. Two members are appointed by the Mayor of Baltimore City with the approval of the City Council. The members appointed by the Governor must be residents of Anne Arundel County. The Secretary of Transportation and the Director of Public Works of Baltimore City serve terms which coincide with their designated offi- ces. The Mayor appointed the first chairman, but he will be appointed by the Governor subject to Senate approval in 1974. Thereafter the Chairmanship will alternate. Members may be reappointed, but none may have any interest in any commercial operation of any aircraft within the State or in any Business enterprise conducted at either Friendship or any other airport in the State, under a contract, lease, or other arrangement. The Authority selects the Secretary-Treasurer who need not be a member of it, and appoints the Executive Director and the General Counsel.
