§ 2. The Authority shall be composed of eleven members, two of
whom shall be licensed members of the medical profession, all of whom shall be
appointed by the city council. The terms of the members shall be four years and

and for terms which commence in 2001, the council shall appoint four members
for four-year terms and one member for a three-year term. Any member may be
reappointed. Members shall be compensated for their services in the amount of $250 per
attendance at each monthly meeting, not in excess of to exceed $3,000 per annum, and shall be entitled to
reimbursement for necessary traveling and other expenses incurred while engaged
in the performance of their duties. Each member shall continue to hold office
until the earlier of the effective date of his resignation or the date on which
his successor has been appointed and qualified. The council shall have the
right to remove any member or officer, for malfeasance or misfeasance,
incompetency or gross neglect of duty. Vacancies shall be filled by appointment
of the council for unexpired terms, or in the case of an increase in the size
of the Authority, filled by appointment of the council, which appointments may
be for an initial term less than four years. Members shall take an appropriate
oath of office and same shall be filed with the city clerk. Members shall elect
on an annual basis one of their number as chairman and another as vice-chairman
and shall also elect a secretary and treasurer for terms to be determined by
them, who may or may not be one of the members. The same person may serve as
both secretary and treasurer. The members shall make such rules, regulations
and bylaws for their own government and procedure as they shall determine; they
shall meet regularly at least once a month and may hold such special meetings
as they deem necessary.
