330A.5 Board.
Each authority shall have a board of an odd number of three or more members and the board shall be the governing body of the authority exercising all of the rights, duties, and powers conferred by this chapter upon the authority. The board members shall be appointed by the governing bodies of the member municipalities. The number to be appointed by each municipality shall be provided for in the agreement or ordinance creating the authority. However, an elected official or full-time paid employee of a member municipality is not eligible for appointment to the board. Board members shall serve for terms of four years at the pleasure of the municipality appointing the members except members of the initial board shall determine their respective terms by lot so the terms of one-half of the members expire at the end of two years. The remaining initial terms shall expire at the end of four years. Each member of the board shall qualify by taking an oath to faithfully perform the duties of office. Within forty-five days after a vacancy occurs on the board by death, resignation, change of residence or removal of a member, or from any other cause, the successor of the member shall be appointed by the member municipality represented by the vacancy and shall serve until the term expires. The board shall, within ten days after its appointment, organize by electing a chairperson, a secretary, and a treasurer, each for a term of two years. The treasurer shall execute an adequate surety bond in a penal sum to be fixed by the authority, conditioned upon the faithful performance of the duties of office, the premium on which shall be paid by the authority. Board members and officers shall serve until their successors are duly elected and qualified. A salary shall not be paid to a board member; however, each board member shall be reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in the performance of the member’s duties. All actions by an authority require the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of the authority.
