If the membership determined pursuant to this paragraph would result in an unequal number of representatives among the incorporated cities, the membership of the incorporated cities on the oversight panel must be rotated and the board of county commissioners shall draw lots to determine which city or cities will be first represented, which next, and so on.

(4) One member who is a representative of the gaming industry; and

(5) One member who is a representative of the general public who has an interest in education.

2. After the initial terms, the term of each member of the oversight panel is 2 years. Members of the oversight panel are eligible for reappointment.

3. The oversight panel for school facilities may meet at the call of the chair of the oversight panel, but is not required to hold meetings except for the purposes of carrying out its duties pursuant to subsection 4 of NRS 350.020 and NRS 393.097 and, if applicable, for the purposes of carrying out expanded duties pursuant to NRS 393.096, or unless directed by the board of trustees of the school district.
