CODE OF VIRGINIA

VIRGINIA AVIATION COMMISSION CONTINUED AS VIRGINIA AVIATION BOARD; MEMBERSHIP;
TERMS; CHAIRMAN (§ 5.1-2.1)

A. The Virginia Aviation Commission, a public body corporate and politic, is
hereby continued within the Department of Aviation as a political subdivision of
the Commonwealth and shall hereafter be known as the Virginia Aviation Board.
The Board shall consist of eight members, selected so far as practicable from
different geographic areas of the Commonwealth, appointed by the Governor,
subject to confirmation by the General Assembly, to serve at the pleasure of the
Governor. Members shall serve for four-year terms and no member shall serve for
more than two full successive terms. Initial appointments to the Board shall be
made as follows: one shall be for a term of one year, two shall be for terms of
two years, two shall be for terms of three years, and two shall be for terms of
four years each and thereafter all appointments shall be for terms of four years
each. The Chairman of the Board shall be appointed by the Governor.

B. Whenever the Board shall acquire ownership or jurisdiction over an airport or
airports previously operated by an agency of the United States, there may be a
member appointed to the Board by the President of the United States. Such member
shall have the powers and duties of other members of the Board only with respect
to the airport or airports so acquired.

C. There may be a member of the Board from any county or city wherein the Board
acquires or constructs an airport, to be elected by the governing body of the
county or city and to serve at its pleasure. Such member shall have the powers
and duties of other members of the Board only with respect to such airport. If
the Board acquires an airport which was constructed by one political subdivision
but is located in another, the political subdivision which constructed the
airport, rather than the political subdivision in which it is located, shall be
represented on the Board.
