BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS SHALL APPOINT
THEIR SUCCESSORS FOR A TERM OF FOUR YEARS. IN
THE EVENT THAT A TRUSTEE FOR ANY REASON FAILS
TO SERVE OR TO COMPLETE ANY APPOINTMENT OR
ELECTED TERM, THE SUCCESSOR SHALL BE APPOINTED

for terms of two years each; three members for terms of three
years each; and three members for terms of four years each. As the
terms of the appointed Trustees expire, their successors shall be
elected by a majority vote of a quorum of the Trustees for a term of
four years and thereafter these positions shall be so filled. In the
event that a Trustee for any reason fails to serve or to complete any
appointed or elected term, a successor shall be elected by a majority
vote of a quorum of the Trustees for the remainder of such term.
Selection of Trustees whether by delegation, appointment or election
should be such as to obtain a geographical distribution of Trustees
throughout Prince George's County insofar as is practicable and con-
sistent with the purpose of the Trust.]
