§ 235. Quorum; term of office; removal; vacancies in board of
commissioners. A majority of the members of any board of commissioners
appointed under this article shall be a quorum for the transaction of
any business or the performance of any duty or function, or the exercise
of any power, conferred or enjoined upon them. Any commissioner may be
removed for cause at any time by the power appointing him, but no
commissioner shall be removed without due notice and an opportunity to
be heard in defense; and no commissioner thus removed is or shall be
eligible to be again appointed to the office of commissioner. In case of
the death, resignation or removal from office of any commissioner the
vacancy shall be filled by the power appointing him, within thirty days
after such removal, or within thirty days after notice in writing to
such appointing power given by some member of the board, or by the
corporation hereinafter mentioned, of such death or resignation, and a
certificate of every such appointment shall be filed as hereinbefore
required. Except as otherwise provided by law, the terms of office of
the commissioners shall determine and expire with the performance of
their functions as hereinabove prescribed.
