(b) Upon the expiration of the terms of the members of the board of directors of the consolidated district, or a district reorganized as described in subdivision (a), whose terms first expire following the effective date of the consolidation or reorganization, the total number of members on the board of directors shall be reduced until the number equals the number of members permitted by the principal act of the consolidated or reorganized district, or any larger number as may be specified by the local agency formation commission in approving the consolidation or reorganization.
(c) In addition to the powers granted under Section 1780 of the Government Code, in the event of a vacancy on the board of directors of the consolidated district or a district reorganized as described in subdivision (a) at which time the total number of directors is greater than five, the board of directors may, by majority vote of the remaining members of the board, choose not to fill the vacancy. In that event, the total membership of the board of directors shall be reduced by one board member. Upon making the determination not to fill a vacancy, the board of directors shall notify the board of supervisors of its decision.

If the board is enlarged subsequent to the consolidation with, or the annexation of the territory of, another district, the first two additional directors so designated shall be resident voters of such consolidated or annexed territory. The board shall determine the term of office of each of the new directors so appointed, but in no event shall such term designated by the board be for more than four years.

Notwithstanding Section 56844 of the Government Code, those board members shall determine within 60 days from the effective date of the consolidation whether the board of directors shall consist of 5, 7, 9, or 11 members, and they shall further determine within that time the persons who shall thereafter be members of the board of directors. If those board members determine that the board of directors shall consist of 11 members, they shall appoint the eleventh member whose term shall be the same as the terms of the members of the board of directors whose terms will first expire. Upon making those determinations, the members so selected shall notify by resolution the Board of Supervisors and the Registrar of Voters of the County of Orange of the number of members and the names of the persons who have been selected or appointed as members of the board of directors, and of the expiration dates of their terms of office. If that selection and appointment process is not completed within 60 days of the effective date of the consolidation, the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange shall determine the number of members of the board of directors and shall select the members of the board of directors from among those 10 persons, or call a special election for the election of the directors of the consolidated district on the next available election date.
