the same manner as the original appointment for the balance of the term of the
member whose place is so vacated. The appointing authority is hereby given the
exclusive power and authority to determine and declare when a vacancy exists. (2) Except in a county containing a consolidated local government, if said county judge/executive and said mayor fail within said thirty (30) day period to make an
appointment to fill any one (1) or more of the five (5) original positions of
membership on said board, then and in that event the appointment to fill any such
original position shall be made by the majority vote of a board to be composed of
the county judge/executive of such county, the mayor of such city, and the president
of the board of tuberculosis hospital in such county and city. Thereafter, in the event
said county judge/executive and said mayor fail to make an appointment to fill any
vacancy on said board within thirty (30) days after such vacancy, for any reason,
occurs, the board itself shall have the power and is hereby authorized to make the
appointment to fill such vacancy. In a county containing a consolidated local
government, the mayor shall fill a vacancy to the board no later than thirty (30) days
after the occurrence of the vacancy. In the event the mayor fails to make the
