(b) The governing board of a district is a board of directors of not less than three members. The district board shall be appointed as follows: (1) If the district includes only one city, two members of the governing body shall be selected by the board of supervisors and one member of the governing body shall be selected by the city council. (2) If the district includes two or more cities, only one member of the governing body of the district shall be selected by the board of supervisors to represent the unincorporated area. The legislative body of each city within the district shall appoint one member to represent each incorporated city within the district. If the selection of members pursuant to this subdivision results in the governing body having an even number of members, those members may appoint an additional member from the district at large. (c) A vacancy shall be filled in the same manner as an original appointment. The person appointed shall reside within the area he or she represents. 49121. Any governing body authorized by Section 49120 to appoint a member to the district board may make the appointment from its own members. 49122. The members of the district board in office on September 15, 1961, shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, so classify themselves, by lot, that a majority of the members serve until January 1, 1963, and a minority of the members of the district board shall serve until January 1, 1965, or until the appointment of their successors or their resignation or termination of residence within the area they represent. Thereafter, the term of office of each succeeding member of the district board shall be four years and each shall hold office until the appointment of his or her successor or his or her resignation or termination of residence within the area he or she represents. 49123. (a) Members of the district board may be reimbursed for their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official business of the district as approved by the district board. (b) Members of the district board may also receive not more than fifty dollars ($50) per diem for each day of actual attendance at the meetings of the board, with the per diem to be established by order of the board and entered upon its minutes. No member of the district board shall, however, receive more than one hundred dollars ($100) per diem in any calendar month. (c) In addition to any other compensation received pursuant to this section, the chairperson of the district board and the secretary of the district board, if the secretary is a member of the district board, shall each receive monthly compensation as established by the district board.
