(1) a vote of a majority of the board shall be required to hire or discharge the corporation's administrator, to approve the annual budget, and for any action which requires subsequent approval by the county board as specified in section 383B.908; and
(2) directors of the board of directors or any committee or advisory assembly or council appointed by the board of directors may participate in a meeting by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment which enables all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other during the conduct of that meeting.

Subd. 4. Qualifications. Members of the board shall possess a high degree of experience and knowledge in relevant fields and possess a high degree of interest in the corporation and support for its mission.

In addition, the county board may remove the corporate board in its entirety as specified in section 383B.908, subdivision 7.
