A. The term of office of a director is for two years after election and until the director's successor has qualified, except that if during the director's term of office the director sells or otherwise disposes of the land the director owned within the district, the director's term automatically expires and a vacancy exists in the directors. If for any reason a vacancy exists in the directors, the board of supervisors shall appoint a director who is a landowner within the district to serve for the remainder of the unexpired term. The election for the office of director shall be held every two years after the first election on a date to be set by the board. Candidates for the office of director shall file nominating petitions with the board of supervisors as prescribed by title 16, chapter 3. If only one person files or no person files a nominating petition for an election to fill a district office, the board of supervisors may cancel the election for the position and appoint the person who filed the nominating petition to fill the position. If no person files a nominating petition for an election to fill a district office, the board of supervisors may cancel the election for that office and that office is deemed vacant and shall be filled as otherwise provided by law. A person who is appointed pursuant to this section is fully vested with the powers and duties of the office as if elected to that office.

B. To qualify as director, every person so elected or appointed shall file an oath of office with the clerk of the board in the same manner as all other county officers.

C. Within ten days after the director's election and qualification, the directors shall meet and elect from its members a chairperson, vice-chairperson and secretary, whose duties shall be those commonly performed by those officers.
