For the purpose of promoting industry and trade and to assist the county commission or other like governing bodies in Escambia County in their pursuits thereof, there is hereby created an Industrial Development Authority for Escambia County which shall be composed of 11 members. All members of the authority shall be residents and qualified electors of Escambia County.
(1) Five members of the authority shall be appointed by the Escambia County Commission. All appointments of successors to these five members shall be made by the Escambia County Commission, from a list submitted by the House of Representatives member whose district encompasses the majority of Escambia County. If such successors are not appointed within 90 days after the expiration of such members' terms, the House of Representatives member whose district encompasses the majority of Escambia County shall appoint the successors, and all members shall serve until their successors are appointed. The members of the authority appointed by the Escambia County Commission or the House of Representatives member whose district encompasses the majority of Escambia County shall serve for terms of four years. Vacancies in the positions of these five members shall be filled in the same manner as the original five members are appointed, but any person appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve only for the unexpired portion of the term.
(2) The governing bodies of Brewton and Atmore shall each appoint two members of the authority. The governing bodies of Flomaton and East Brewton shall each appoint one member of the authority. The members of the authority appointed by the governing bodies of Brewton, Atmore, Flomaton, and East Brewton shall serve for terms of three years. Successors to these six members shall be appointed in the same manner as the original six members are appointed, so long as the governing bodies financially support the Industrial Development Authority of Escambia County. All members shall serve until their successors are appointed. Vacancies in the positions of these six members shall be filled in the same manner as the original six members are appointed, but any person appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve only for the unexpired portion of the term. At the completion of any three-year term, or in the case of a vacancy, if a governing body has chosen not to financially support the Industrial Development Authority of Escambia County, its appointees shall be appointed in the same manner as those in subdivision (1).
