§ 41-7-302 — Oath and bond; quorum; term; removal; vacancies

Before entering upon their duties, commissioners shall take and
subscribe an oath to support the constitution of the United
States and the constitution of the state of Wyoming, to
faithfully and impartially discharge their duties as
commissioners and to render a true account of their doing to the
court by which they are appointed whenever required by law or
the order of the court. Commissioners shall execute a bond
running to the clerk of court and his successors in office as
obligees, to be filed with the clerk for the benefit of the
parties interested, in an amount to be fixed by the court or
presiding judge, and with sureties to be approved by the court
or presiding judge, conditioned for the faithful discharge of
their duties as commissioners and the faithful accounting of all
monies which shall come into their hands as commissioners. A
majority shall constitute a quorum and a concurrence of a
majority in any matter within their duties shall be sufficient
to its determination. The commissioners appointed shall hold
their office until the first regular meeting of the
commissioners following the date of the order organizing the
district and until their respective successors are qualified
under the provisions of W.S. 41-7-316. The commissioners
appointed by the secretary of the interior shall be subject to
removal from office and any commissioner appointed by the
secretary of the interior to fill a vacancy shall hold office
until less than a majority of the lands within the district are
unentered public lands, after which the commissioners shall be
elected as otherwise provided in this chapter. If the office of
any commissioner so appointed shall become vacant by reason of
death, or other cause, the court or judge thereof shall appoint
a qualified person to fill the vacancy.
