The Commission is composed of two county supervisorial members appointed by the Board of Supervisors, two city council members appointed by the HCAOG Mayor City Selection Committee, two special district members appointed through a special district board nomination and election process, and one public member selected by the other six members. Commission members serve four-year terms (term expiration for each Commissioner is shown below). There is also one alternate member for each of the four classifications.
