(a) The tourism board shall have a board of directors composed of five directors, two of whom shall be elected by the governing body of the City of Florence, two of whom shall be elected by the governing body of the county, and one of whom shall be elected jointly by the governing body of the City of Florence and the governing body of the county. Each director shall be 21 years of age or older and shall be a resident and qualified elector of the county. Both of the directors first so elected by the governing body of the City of Florence after the organization of the tourism board shall be elected for an initial term of six months. Both of the directors first so elected by the governing body of the county after the organization of the tourism board shall be elected for an initial term of 18 months. The director first so elected jointly by the governing body of the City of Florence and the governing body of the county after the organization of the tourism board shall be elected for an initial term of 42 months. Thereafter the term of office of each director elected by the governing body of the City of Florence, the governing body of the county, or jointly by the governing body of the City of Florence and the governing body of the county shall be four years.
(b) If, at the expiration of any term of office of any director, a successor thereto shall not have been elected or appointed, the director whose term of office shall have expired shall continue to hold office until his or her successor shall be so elected or appointed. If at any time there should be a vacancy on the board, whether by death, resignation, incapacity, disqualification, or otherwise, a successor director to serve for the unexpired term applicable to such vacancy shall be elected or appointed by the governing body of the entity that appointed the director who vacated his or her position on the board. Any director shall be eligible for reelection or reappointment.
(c) Each director shall serve as such without compensation but shall be reimbursed for expenses actually incurred by him or her in and about the performance of his or her duties as a director.
(d) A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. No vacancy in the membership of the board shall impair the right of a quorum to exercise all the powers and perform all the duties of the board. Whenever any notice is required by the bylaws of the tourism board to be given of any meeting of the board, a waiver thereof in writing, signed, whether before or after the meeting, by the person or persons entitled to notice, shall be the equivalent to the giving of notice. Any matter on which the board is authorized to act may be acted upon at any regular, special, or called meeting. All resolutions adopted by the board shall constitute actions of the tourism board, and all proceedings of the board shall be reduced to writing and signed by the secretary of the tourism board and shall be recorded in a well-bound book. Copies of proceedings, when certified by the secretary of the tourism board, under the seal of the tourism board, shall be received in all courts as prima facie evidence of the matters and things therein certified.
