SECTION 8130-8134

8130. Upon the completion of the formation of the district, if the
district is comprised of one city and unincorporated territory, the
board shall appoint a commission composed of five members, three of
whom shall be electors in the city and two of whom shall be electors
in the unincorporated area within the district.

8130.1. Upon the completion of the formation of the district, if
the district is comprised of two or more cities and unincorporated
territory, the board shall appoint a commission composed of five
members. The number of commissioners shall be so divided as to relate
the number of commissioners from each unit as closely as possible to
the proportion which the assessed valuation of that unit, as shown
on the last equalized assessment roll of the county, bears to the
total assessed valuation within the district at the time the district
is formed, except that each unit shall have at least one
commissioner. For the purposes of this section, all of the
unincorporated area in the district shall be considered a single
unit.
If the district is comprised of two or more cities, without
unincorporated territory, the appointment of commissioners shall be
by the city councils of the respective cities, each such council
appointing the number determined by the board as provided above.

8131. The commissioners first appointed shall so classify
themselves by lot, that one member holds office for one year, one for
two years, one for three years, and two for four years, thereafter
appointments shall be for a four-year term.

8132. Each commissioner shall serve until the appointment and
qualification of his successor. Vacancies shall be filled for the
unexpired term.

8133. Within twenty days after their appointment, the commissioners
shall meet and elect one member president, one member
vice-president, and one member secretary. The terms of office of
officers shall be one year.

8134. The commission is authorized to pay each commissioner an
amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) for each meeting of
the commission attended by the commissioner, not exceeding two
meetings during any one calendar month, together with expenses
necessarily incurred by the commissioner in traveling between his or
her place of residence and the place of meeting, and while traveling
in connection with the business of the commission, when previously
authorized by the commission.
