(iii) One (1) additional city council member or county commissioner, to be appointed by the member’s governing body.
(h)  The boards of county commissioners and the city councils, as such governing bodies, are hereby specifically authorized to act in a joint manner for the purposes of implementing the provisions of this subsection.
