Except as provided in AS 39.05.080 (4), a member appointed to fill a vacancy holds office for the balance of the term for which the member's predecessor was appointed.

(b) A vacancy on the board does not impair the authority of a quorum of members to exercise the powers and perform the duties of the board.

(c) A member of the board whose term has expired shall serve until a successor has been appointed.
