The Richland County Legislative Delegation, the Richland County Council, and the Columbia City Council each shall recommend two members to the Governor, and the president of the Historic Columbia Foundation, Inc., or his designee must be member. The Governor shall appoint the members for terms of four years and until their successors are appointed and qualify. The members serving on the effective date of this act shall continue to serve until the expiration of their terms. The terms of their successors must be staggered so that the length of the terms of the two recommended by each governmental entity must be two years apart. No member may serve more than two consecutive terms."
