Provided, that of those first appointed one member shall serve for a term of two years, one member shall serve for a term of four years, and one member shall serve for a term of six years or until their successors are appointed and qualify. The members of the board shall serve without pay and shall file annually a report with the Spartanburg County Board of Control not later than the first of November of each year, showing all activities and disbursements made by the board during the year.
