A regional health commission shall consist of two members from each board of health participating therein except that when more than seven boards of health participate, the commission shall consist of one member, or a designated representative, from each board. When an independent local board of health is in place, the members or representatives to serve on a regional commission shall be appointed by the board of health. In municipalities having no independent local board of health, members of regional health commissions shall be appointed by the local governing body. Members shall serve on regional health commissions at the pleasure of the appointing authority.
