§ 23-174.4. Composition of board of visitors; appointment, terms, etc.
(a) A. Until January 31, 1981, the board of visitors shall consist of eleven
members. Thereafter The board of visitors shall consist of thirteen members.
(b) who shall be appointed, on or before January 31 of any year in which their
