In addition, the creating ordinance must provide that no more than four (4) of the members be affiliated with the same political party. The creating ordinance must also provide staggered terms for the appointments.
(c) Notwithstanding subsection (b), if a board was created under IC 18-7-18 (before its repeal on February 24, 1982), three (3) members shall be appointed by the executive of the second class city and three (3) members shall be appointed by the executive of the county. Those members shall select the seventh member, who serves as president. One (1) of the members appointed by the city executive must be engaged in the hospitality industry in the city. No more than two (2) of the members appointed by the city executive may be affiliated with the same political party and no more than two (2) of the members appointed by the county executive may be affiliated with the same political party. In addition, each member must have been a resident of the county for at least one (1) year immediately preceding the member's appointment. Initial terms of the members are as follows:
(1) One (1) of the members appointed by each appointing authority for a term ending January 15 of the year following the appointment.
