The commissioners must be appointed as follows: (a) Two commissioners must be appointed by the Nevada League of Cities. (b) Two commissioners must be appointed by the Nevada Association of Counties. (c) One commissioner must be appointed jointly by the Nevada League of Cities and the Nevada Association of Counties. This commissioner must be a current recipient of assistance from the Authority and must be selected from a list of at least five eligible nominees submitted for this purpose by an organization which represents tenants of housing projects operated by the Authority.

After the initial terms, the term of office of a commissioner is 4 years or until his or her successor takes office. 4. A majority of the commissioners constitutes a quorum, and a vote of the majority is necessary to carry any question. 5. If either of the appointing entities listed in subsection 2 ceases to exist, the pertinent appointments required by subsection 2 must be made by the successor in interest of that entity or, if there is no successor in interest, by the other appointing entity.
