(1) The regular election of said
district for the purpose of electing a board of directors shall be held on the first
Tuesday after the first Monday in December of each year, at which time one
director shall be elected for a term of three years; except that, at the first election
held to choose the first board of directors after the organization of any district has
been effected, the person having the highest number of votes shall continue in
office for the full term of three years; the next highest for two years; and the next
highest for one year. But if two or more persons have the same number of votes,
then their term shall be determined by lot, under the direction of the county judge
of the county wherein the organization of said district has been effected. The
person receiving the highest number of votes for any office to be filled at such
election is elected thereto.

(2) After receiving their certificates of election provided for in section 37-41-112 (2), said officers shall take an oath or affirmation in accordance with section 24-12-101. Each member of the board of directors shall execute an official bond in the
sum of three thousand dollars, which bond shall be approved by the county judge of
the county wherein such organization was effected, and shall be recorded in the
office of the county clerk and recorder thereof. Such official bond may be signed by
a surety company authorized to do business in the state of Colorado, in which case
the district shall be liable for and shall pay premium on said bond. All official bonds
shall be in the form prescribed by law for official bonds for county officials; except
that the obligee named in said bonds shall be to the district and shall be filed with
the county clerk and recorder at the same time as the filing of the oath or
affirmation provided for in this section.
