as follows:

The authority shall consist of five members. One member shall be the Chairman
of the Board of Commissioners of Putnam County, Georgia or such officer's
designee; one member shall be the Mayor of the City of Eatonton, Georgia or such
officer's designee, said designee being a member of the Council of the City of
Eatonton; one member shall be appointed by the Board of Commissioners of Putnam
County (the 'county member'); one member shall be appointed by the Mayor and
Council of Eatonton (the 'city member'); and one member shall be appointed by
the foregoing four members (the 'at-large member'). With respect to the initial
appointments of the county member, the city member, and the at-large member, the
county member shall be appointed for a term of four years or until a successor
is appointed, the city member shall be appointed for a term of three years or
until a successor is appointed, and the at-large member shall be appointed for a
term of two years or until a successor is appointed. Thereafter, all
appointments of the county member, the city member, and the at-large member
shall be made for terms of four years or until successors are appointed.
Immediately after such appointments the members of the authority shall enter
upon their duties. To be eligible for appointment as a member of the authority
a person shall be at least 21 years of age and a resident of Putnam County for
at least two years prior to the date of his or her appointment. No person shall
be eligible for appointment to the authority who has been convicted of a felony.
With the exception of the designees of the Chairman of the Board of
Commissioners and the Mayor of the City of Eatonton, members of the Board of
Commissioners of Putnam County and/or the Council of the City of Eatonton shall
not be eligible for appointment. A member of the authority may be selected and
appointed to succeed himself or herself for a maximum of one four-year
term."
