If such vote is in the affirmative, a certificate of such approval shall be recorded in the office of the clerk of such town, city or borough and a certified copy thereof shall be filed by such clerk in the office of the Secretary of the State, who shall record the same. Within ten days after such affirmative vote has been passed by any town, city or borough, its selectmen, mayor or warden shall appoint the required number of residents of such town, city or borough as members of such commission, each of whom shall serve for the term for which he was appointed and until his successor is appointed and has qualified.
(b) Such aviation commission shall be charged with the administration of such local ordinances as may, from time to time, be enacted, concerning airports, landing fields and aeronautics.
