   14  Governor, which three members shall not include the district
   15  secretary serving as an ex officio member. Except as provided in
   16  subsection (5), the qualifications, terms of office, and
   17  obligations and rights of members of the authority shall be
   18  determined by resolution or ordinance of the governing body of
   19  the county in a manner that is consistent with subsections (3)
   20  and (4).

   24  authority.
   25         2. A person may not be appointed to or serve as a member of
   26  the governing body of an authority if that person currently
   27  represents or has in the previous 4 years represented any client
   28  for compensation before the authority.
   29         3. A person may not be appointed to or serve as a member of
   30  the governing body of an authority if that person currently

   32  or entity that is doing business, or in the previous 4 years has
   33  done business, with the authority.
   34         (l) A finding of a violation of this subsection or chapter
   35  112, or failure to comply within 90 days after receiving a
   36  notice of failure to comply with financial disclosure
   37  requirements, results in immediate termination from the
   38  governing body of the authority.
