28A.8 COMMISSIONERS -- TERMS OF OFFICE.
1. All initial appointments of commissioners shall be made within
thirty days after the establishment of the authority. The authority
is considered established when the proposition is approved by the
voters under section 28A.6. Each appointment shall be in writing and
a certificate of appointment signed by the appointing officer shall
be filed and made a matter of record in the office of the county
recorder. A commissioner shall be appointed for a term of two years
and shall qualify within ten days after appointment by acceptance and
the taking of an oath or affirmation to faithfully perform the duties
of office. Members initially appointed to the board of commissioners
shall serve from date of appointment until June 30 of one or two
years after the date of appointment and shall draw lots to determine
the terms for which each shall be appointed. Lots shall be drawn so
that four commissioners from the metropolitan area shall serve in
each of two classes. Thereafter, commissioners shall be appointed
for two-year terms beginning on July 1 of the year of appointment.
However, a commissioner who is also an elected officer shall have a
term of office that runs concurrent and consistent with the elective
office.
2. Within forty-five days after any vacancy occurs on the board
by death, resignation, change of residence to outside of the
metropolitan area, or for any other cause, a successor shall be
appointed in the same manner as the commissioner's predecessor was
appointed for the unexpired term of office. Commissioners and board
officers of the board shall serve until a successor is appointed and
qualifies. A vacancy exists when a commissioner who is also an
elected officer leaves elective office and a former city or county
elective officer is ineligible to serve as a commissioner for two
years after leaving elective office. Section History: Recent Form
