UPDATED FOR JUNE 10, 2020 - On September 28, 2005, The H2O Community Development Authority (H2O) was created by an ordinance of the Hampton City Council. H2O approved bylaws by resolution on January 26, 2006. Those bylaws provided for a Board consisting of five members to be appointed by the City Council for four year terms. Those bylaws also provide that Council shall fill any vacancies except that the City Manager shall appoint a replacement for any vacancy of the City Manager's alternate.

The original board members' and alternates' terms began on September 28, 2005, and all expired on June 30, 2009. No staggering of terms was considered at that time.

It further stated that ' Any subsequently appointed alternate member shall have the same term as the member for whom such alternative member serves as an alternate.'
