Navigation districts shall be governed by a board of commissioners whose qualifications, appointment and initial terms of office shall be established by the laws creating each district.
At the first meeting of the board of commissioners, which shall be held as soon after the election and appointment of all commissioners as practicable, the commissioners shall determine their respective terms of office by lot. Thereafter their successors shall be appointed, or elected, to serve for a term of four years. All commissioners shall serve until their successors are appointed or elected and qualified, and in event of a vacancy, a commissioner to fill the unexpired term shall be appointed or elected by the authority from whom the former member derived his appointment or election.
The commissioners of said district shall serve without compensation, but they shall be entitled to receive all necessary expenses incurred in attending meetings of the board, or while attending to the business of the board. In event the secretary should be also a commissioner of the district, he shall be paid a salary for his services, to be fixed by the board.
The board of commissioners may meet at the domicile or elsewhere within the district, at their discretion.
A majority of the members of the board of commissioners shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.
