§ 1. If the governing bodies of the towns of Clarksville and Boydton shall by resolution declare that there is a need for an airport commission to be created for the purpose of establishing and operating one or more airports or landing fields for all such political subdivisions, an airport commission, to be originally known as "The Clarksville-Boydton Airport Commission," shall thereupon exist for the towns and shall exercise its powers and functions therein.

In any suit, action, or proceeding involving the validity or enforcement of or relating to any contract of the Lake Country Airport Commission, formerly known as and doing business as The Clarksville-Boydton Airport Commission, the airport commission shall be conclusively deemed to have become created as a body corporate, and to have become established and authorized to transact business and exercise its powers hereunder upon proof of the adoption of a resolution by the governing body of each of the towns creating the airport commission declaring that there is need for an airport commission and that it unites with the other political subdivision in its creation. A copy of the resolution, duly certified by the clerk of the governing body of the town which adopted it, shall be admissible in evidence in any suit, action, or proceeding.

§ 2. The Clarksville-Boydton Airport Commission Lake Country Airport Commission, hereinafter referred to as the "Commission," shall consist of members from the participating towns, the membership being composed of five members appointed by the Town of Clarksville and two members by the Town of Boydton. Each member shall be appointed by the governing bodies thereof. Original appointments of members shall be for terms as follows: from the Town of Clarksville, one member for two years, two members each for three and four years; from the Town of Boydton, one member for one year and one member for two years. Thereafter all appointments shall be for three-year terms, except appointments to fill vacancies which shall be for the unexpired terms.

The governing body appointing any member may remove that member at any time and appoint his successor. The Commission shall have power to elect its chairman and to adopt rules and regulations for its own procedures and government. The members of the Commission so appointed shall constitute the Commission, and the powers of such Commission shall be vested in and exercised by the members in office from time to time. A majority of the members in office shall constitute a quorum.

2.  In all regards, the Lake Country Airport Commission shall be the successor in interest to the Clarksville-Boydton Airport Commission, except as otherwise provided by law.
