by affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the governing
body in attendance at a regular meeting.

Three of the members first appointed and confirmed shall serve for terms of three years, and two of the members first appointed and confirmed shall serve for terms of two years. Upon the expiration of the term of each of the members first appointed, all subsequent appointments shall be for terms of three years. Any appointment made to fill any vacancy occurring other than by reason of the expiration of the term of a member shall be for the period of the unexpired term only and shall be made in the same manner and by the same method as provided in § 55-3 hereof for the making of the original appointments to said Board.

of term shall be filled by the governing body for the unexpired term
only.

A.
The Board
of Health, upon appointment and confirmation of all of its members,

qualification of the members of said Board, they shall each year select
one of their members who shall be the Secretary of the Board.
C.
An alternate
member may participate in discussions of the proceedings but may not
vote except in the absence or disqualification of a regular member.
A vote shall not be delayed in order that a regular member may vote
instead of an alternate member. In the event that a choice must be
made as to which alternate member is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall
vote first.

member shall not be permitted to act on any matter in which he or
she has, either directly or indirectly, any personal or financial
interest. An alternate member may, after public hearing if he or she
requests one, be removed by the governing body for cause.

of, and simultaneously with, the organization and qualification of
the new Board as provided for herein. Upon the induction of the new
members into office and after organization thereof, the new Board
shall immediately assume all of the duties, obligations and responsibilities
of the local Board of Health.
