A. Any beachfront development district created under the provisions of this Chapter shall be governed by a board of five commissioners who shall be qualified voters and residents of the district. The members of the board shall be appointed by the governing authority of the parish or parishes involved and if one or more municipalities have, through their respective governing bodies, agreed to be included in the beachfront development district created by the parish governing authority or authorities at least one of said members of the board shall be a qualified voter and resident of each such municipality.
B. The five commissioners initially appointed shall be appointed for terms of one, two, three, four, and five years, respectively, and they shall serve until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. All commissioners thereafter appointed at the expiration of such respective terms shall be appointed by the parish governing authority or authorities for terms of five years. Any vacancy which otherwise occurs shall be filled by appointment of the parish governing authority or authorities for the unexpired term. In making such appointments the requirement that the board of commissioners shall include at least one qualified voter and resident of each municipality which has been included in the district by consent of its governing authority shall apply.
C. The board of commissioners shall elect one of its members as chairman and one as vice chairman at its first meeting. Special meetings may be held at such time and place as specified by the call of the chairman of the board or by resolution of the board of commissioners. The board of commissioners shall also select one person as secretary-treasurer who shall not be a member of the board but shall be a qualified voter and resident of the district. He shall furnish such bond as may be required by the board of commissioners. The premium on the bond shall be paid out of funds of the district. The secretary-treasurer shall receive such salary and office expense allowance, if any, as shall be fixed and determined by the board of commissioners. He shall serve at the pleasure of the board. The members of the board of commissioners shall each receive a per diem of ten dollars for each meeting they attend, but shall not be paid for more than twelve meetings in each year. Such per diem shall be paid out of the funds of the district.
