Text

(a) Except as provided in Section 11-81-265, the board of directors shall be composed of the number of directors provided for in the articles, appointed as provided in the articles for the terms designated therein.
(b) All directors shall serve until their successors are appointed or until they cease to be qualified. Vacancies on the board of directors shall be filled as provided for in the articles, but any person appointed to fill a vacancy shall serve only for the unexpired portion of the term. In the event any uncertainty arises as to the terms of office of a director, the governing body or person authorized to appoint a director to the board of directors may clarify the term by adoption of an appropriate resolution or by execution of an appropriate certificate.
(c) A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, but any meeting of the board of directors may be adjourned by a majority of the directors present, or may be adjourned by a single director if the director is the only director present at the meeting. A vacancy in the membership of the board of directors may not impair the right of a quorum to exercise all the powers and perform all the duties of the board. The board shall hold regular meetings at such times as may be provided in the bylaws of the authority and may hold other meetings at any time upon notice as may be required by the bylaws of the authority or if the bylaws make no provision for notice as determined by the chair of the board of directors. The board of directors may hold a special meeting upon call of the chair or by a majority of the directors. Any matter on which the board of directors is authorized to act may be acted upon at any regular, special, or called meeting. At the request of a director, the vote on any question before the board of directors may be taken by yeas and nays and entered upon the record. All resolutions adopted by the board of directors shall constitute actions of the authority.
(d) A director may be impeached and removed from office only in the same manner and on the same grounds provided in Section 175 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, and the general laws of the state for impeachment and removal of the officers mentioned in Section 175.
