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.
