48-2208. Board of directors; selection; qualifications; terms; compensation; expenses; restrictions

A. A health service district shall be governed by a board of directors of at least three members.

B. At the election to determine whether a district shall be formed, as provided in section 48-2203, the ballot shall contain the names of three or more persons to be elected to the board of directors. These persons may be nominated in the petition for formation of a district or by fifty or more persons qualified to vote in the election.

C. Members of the board of directors shall be qualified electors of the district as prescribed by section 48-2206. No member may be an elective or appointive state, county, city or town official or a member of the governing board of any other medical clinic as defined in section 48-2202, subsection B or other health care institution as defined in section 36-401.

D. Immediately after the election and qualification of the first directors, the directors shall meet and divide themselves by lot into two classes as nearly equal in number as possible. Directors of the first class shall serve for a term of four years, and directors of the second class shall serve for a term of two years, and until the director's successors are elected and qualified. Thereafter at each regular election one director for each expired term shall be elected and shall hold office for a term of four years, and until the director's successor is elected and qualified. The dates of elections and of expiration of terms of the directors shall be specified in the petition for establishment of the district. Candidates for the office of director shall file nominating petitions with the board of supervisors as prescribed by title 16, chapter 3. If only one person files or no person files a nominating petition for an election to fill a district office, the board of supervisors may cancel the election for the position and appoint the person who filed the nominating petition to fill the position. If no person files a nominating petition for an election to fill a district office, the board of supervisors may cancel the election for that office and that office is deemed vacant and shall be filled as otherwise provided by law. A person who is appointed pursuant to this section is fully vested with the powers and duties of the office as if elected to that office.

E. A director who resides in an area that is deleted from the health service district during the director's term of office shall continue to serve until the next regular election, and until the director's successor is elected and qualified. If the director's term does not expire at that time, a new qualified director shall be elected to serve out the unexpired portion of the term.

F. Each director of a health service district shall receive not more than fifteen dollars for each meeting of the board of directors attended by him and reimbursement for necessary travel expenses. No director is eligible to receive compensation, other than expenses, for attending more than four meetings of the board of directors during a calendar month.
