Section 384.008. Board of Directors

Sec. 384.008. BOARD OF DIRECTORS. (a) The board of directors of an organization shall consist of not less than six and not more than 21 appointed members, provided, however, that the number of appointed members is divisible by three. The appointed members are appointed by and may be removed for cause by the governing body of the regional council of governments. The appointed members serve three-year terms, with one-third of the members' terms expiring each year. In order to stagger the terms, the initial appointees of a board of directors shall draw lots to determine which one-third serves for one year, which one-third serves for two years, and which one-third serves for three years. In addition, the board of directors shall have one ex officio nonvoting member from the commission, designated by the executive director of the commission to act as a liaison between the commission and the area emission reduction credit organization.
(b) The appointed members of the board of directors shall represent the general public, large industrial sources of emissions, small regulated businesses, and environmental and economic development interests. Each county in the nonattainment area shall be represented on the board of directors, and other areas in the region shall be represented in a manner that reflects the relative contributions of each area to total emissions or potential emission reductions.
