(a) An election of trustees shall be held in accordance
with the Special District Elections Act of 1994 at the same time
as the election for the formation of the district. At the
election a board of five (5) trustees shall be elected who shall
serve without compensation to govern the affairs of the
district. There shall be elected three (3) members to serve
until the next succeeding district election and two (2) members
to serve until the second succeeding district election and until
their successors are elected and qualified. Thereafter, members
shall be elected for terms of four (4) years. The board of
trustees shall, prior to the publication of notice required
under W.S. 22-29-112(c), determine whether the board of trustees
should be established at five (5) members or seven (7) members.
If the board determines that the number of trustees should be
expanded it may appoint the additional members in accordance
with W.S. 22-29-202 until the next subsequent trustee election.
The next subsequent trustee election shall reflect any
modification made. If a board of trustees fails to establish
the number of trustees to be elected, the board shall be
established at five (5) members. No current term of any trustee
shall be affected by any modification made under this
subsection. Subsequent elections shall be held in accordance
with the Special District Elections Act of 1994.
(b) Excluding employees of the district, any qualified
elector resident in a hospital district is eligible to hold the
office of hospital district trustee in the hospital district.
(c) After the official certificate of election has been
prepared, ballots and affidavits shall be sealed in envelopes
and retained by the appropriate board for six (6) months or
until termination of any election contest affected by the
ballots or affidavits and shall then be destroyed. Prior to
destruction, the envelope shall be opened only on court order.
