(b) The personnel board shall consist of three members: One to be appointed by the sheriff of the county; one to be appointed by the county governing body; and one to be appointed as a joint appointee by the county tax assessor, the county license director, the county tax collector, and the judge of probate, with the county commission having the authority to break any tie vote as between the tax assessor, license director, tax collector, and judge of probate.

Members of the personnel board shall be appointed for a term of three years from their date of appointment; provided, however, that in order to establish and maintain staggered terms of office, the initial term of the member selected jointly by the tax assessor, license director, tax collector, and judge of probate shall be two years, and the initial term of the member appointed by the sheriff shall be one year. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as the initial appointment.
(d) The members of the board shall be qualified electors of the county. No person shall be appointed to the board who holds any salaried public office or employment with the county, nor shall any member, while a member of the board or for a period of one year after he or she has ceased to be a member, be eligible for appointment to any salaried office or employment in the service of the county or any county elective office.
(e) The board shall meet as specified in Section 45-45-121.01, to carry out the business of the board and hear any appeals under this part. The members of the board shall receive fifteen dollars ($15.00) per diem for each meeting of the board they attend. The board may not meet in excess of 10 days per year; provided, however, that the time consumed by the personnel board in hearings conducted under subsection (c) of Section 45-45-121.06, shall not be counted as a part of the 10 days.
