	SECTION 1.  Section 7, Chapter 429, Acts of the 70th 
Legislature, Regular Session, 1987, is amended by adding 
Subsections (d) through (h) to read as follows:
	(d)  The district is divided into five numbered, 
single-member districts for electing directors.  The board may 
revise the single-member districts as necessary or appropriate.
	(e)  The board shall revise the single-member districts as 
soon as practicable after the publication of each federal decennial 
census as the board considers appropriate to reflect population 
changes.
	(f)  When the board revises the single-member districts 
under Subsection (e) of this section, the board shall place two of 
the districts entirely within the boundaries of the City of Austin, 
as they exist at that time.  Changes in the boundaries of the City of 
Austin between revisions of the single-member districts under 
Subsection (e) of this section do not affect the boundaries of the 
single-member districts.
	(g)  Notwithstanding Subsection (f) of this section, the two 
single-member districts within the boundaries of the City of Austin 
may include unincorporated areas and other municipalities that are 
surrounded wholly or partly by the boundaries of the City of Austin 
if the areas or municipalities are noncontiguous to the territory 
of any other single-member district.
	(h)  When the boundaries of the single-member districts are 
changed, a director in office on the effective date of the change, 
or elected or appointed before the effective date of the change to a 
term of office beginning on or after the effective date of the 
change, is entitled to serve the term or the remainder of the term 
in the single-member district to which elected or appointed even 
though the change in boundaries places the person's residence 
outside the single-member district for which the person was elected 
or appointed.
