Sec. 2. (a) If the legislative body of a municipality, by ordinance, adopts the provisions of this chapter, there is established a department of waterworks to be controlled by a board of directors (referred to as "the board" in this chapter). The board consists of either three (3) or five (5) directors, as determined by ordinance, who shall be appointed by the municipal executive.
(b) In case there are three (3) directors, not more than two (2) may be of the same political party. In case there are five (5) directors, not more than three (3) may be of the same political party.
(c) The terms of directors shall be prescribed by ordinance, but initial terms must be prescribed so that the directors' terms will be staggered. Each director shall give a bond, which shall be fixed by the municipal fiscal officer and is subject to his approval.
(d) The executive may remove a director at any time when, in his judgment, it is for the best interest of the department.
As added by Acts 1982, P.L.74, SEC.1.
