Title 6 - Consolidated Health Districts
391 - Consolidated Health District; Board of Health; Organization.

§ 391. Consolidated health district; board of health; organization. 1.
In every consolidated health district there shall be a board of health
which shall consist of the supervisor of each town, the president of the
board of trustees of each village, and the mayor and the supervisors of
each city included in each district, provided that if the number of
members so provided for is an even number less than seven, such members
shall within thirty days after such district shall have been established
by the commissioner choose an additional member of such board of health
to be known as the elective member, and if the number of members so
provided for is more than seven such members shall meet and elect a
board of health of three members for such consolidated health district.

2. A member of the board, sitting ex-officio and not as one of a new
board of three elected as hereinbefore provided, who is the lawful
incumbent of more than one of the offices entitling him to membership
shall have as many votes in the board as there are municipalities of the
district, in which he holds such offices, and in such a case the total
number of votes on the board shall be regarded as the number of members,
in applying the provisions hereof relative to the choosing of an
additional member or reducing the membership to a board of three.
