Sec. 14.
(1) A community college district is directed and governed by a board of trustees, consisting of 7 members, elected at large in the territory of the district or proposed district on a nonpartisan basis. At the organizational election, the electors shall elect 3 members for 6-year terms, 2 for 4-year terms, and 2 for 2-year terms. After the initial terms, at the next regular community college election immediately preceding the expiration of their terms of office, the electors shall elect members for 6-year terms. In a community college district that is comprised of 3 counties and is in operation on the effective date of this act, the board of trustees shall continue to consist of 9 members, 3 from each county, elected for 6-year terms.
(2) If an organizational election is held at the same time as a general state election, the term of office of each member elected shall commence on January 1 following the organizational election.
(3) When an organizational election is held on a date other than the date of a general state election, each board member shall take office on the fifteenth day following the date of the organizational election. Regular terms of office shall commence on January 1 following the next general state election. However, the period of time from the date of the organizational election until January 1 following the next general state election is in addition to the regular terms to which each member was elected.
