§ 36-8-11-14 — Trustees; officers; quorum; approval of actions; compensation; offices; records

(a) At the first regular meeting each year, the
trustees of the board shall elect a chair and vice chair from their
number. The vice chair shall act as chair during the absence or
disability of the chair.
(b) A majority of the trustees constitutes a quorum. An action of the
board is official, however, only if it is authorized by a majority of the
trustees at a regular or properly called special meeting.
(c) Each trustee may receive not more than one hundred dollars
($100) a day for each day devoted to the work of the district. In
addition, each trustee may be reimbursed for actual expenses, including
traveling expense at a rate equivalent to that provided by statute for
state employees. Claims for expense reimbursement must be
accompanied by an itemized written statement and approved by a
recorded motion of the board.
(d) At the time the county legislative body initially appoints the
board, it shall order where the board will maintain its offices. The
offices may not be changed without approval of the legislative body.
The board shall arrange for office space and keep a record of all
transactions and minutes of all meetings in the office. All records and
minutes shall be kept available for public inspection.
