No members of the board of trustees shall have any authority to act on behalf of
the board except in pursuance of an order regularly made at a meeting of the
board. No action of the board shall be binding unless authorized by a majority of the
trustees at a regular meeting or a duly called special meeting. Meetings of the
board of trustees shall be held at the office of the waterworks and shall be open to
the public. A record of the meetings shall be kept by the secretary in a book
provided for that purpose, which book, together with all contracts, maps, plans, and
documents relating to the management and operation of the waterworks, shall be
open to public inspection at reasonable hours. No member of said board shall be
interested, directly or indirectly, in any contract relating to the waterworks or in any
contract providing for the expenditure of any moneys in relation thereto. Any such
trustee shall be considered as vacating his office in the event of his violating this
section or accepting the nomination or becoming a candidate for any other public
office. In the event of a vacancy by death, resignation, or otherwise, the board shall
fill said vacancy by electing some qualified person to fill the vacancy until the next
election at which time the vacancy shall be filled for the balance of the unexpired
term. Trustees under this part 1 shall receive five hundred dollars per year for their
services, and each of said trustees shall enter into a bond of two thousand dollars
to the people of the district for the faithful performance of their duties and the
proper accounting of all moneys that may come into their hands as trustees.
