The board of trustees shall consist of five members. If there is more than one precinct in the land grant-merced, no more than three members shall be residents of the same precinct; provided, however, that if the precinct boundaries do not coincide with the boundaries of the land grant-merced, the board of trustees may create districts that better reflect the distribution of population within the land grant-merced and that any one of which has no more than three members of the board of trustees as residents. A person shall be qualified to be a member of the board if the person is a qualified voting member and is not in default of any dues, rent or other payment for the use of any of the common lands of the land grant-merced.
