21187. The treasurer and collector may appoint as many deputies
within the number allowed by the board as may be necessary for the
discharge of the duties of their offices, the deputies to hold office
at the pleasure of the appointing officer and subject to the powers
of the board. Appointments shall be in writing and filed in the
office of the district. These deputies shall take and file an oath in
the manner required of their principals before assuming the duties
of office.

21188. The board shall allow the assessor as many deputies, to be
appointed by him, as will in the judgment of the board enable him to
complete the assessment between the first Monday in March and the
first Monday in August each year. The compensation shall be fixed by
the board for each deputy for the time actually engaged; provided,
that no allowance shall be made but for work performed between the
first Monday in March and the first Monday in August.

21189. The board may adopt and carry into effect a contract or
contracts of group insurance, a system of group annuities, a system
of medical and hospital service, or any two or more of these, for the
benefit of such of the officers, including directors, and employees
of the district as accept the same and who have authorized the board
to make any necessary deductions from their compensation for the
payment of a portion of the premium thereon. Contracts of group
insurance, systems of group annuities, or systems of medical and
hospital service, which include benefits to dependents of officers
and employees or retired officers and employees are contracts of
group insurance, systems of group annuities, or systems of medical
and hospital service for the benefit of officers and employees for
the purposes of this section. The board may make such deductions, and
may pay the remainder of such premiums from any funds of the
district not required to be devoted to a specific purpose. The board
may pay such portion of the premiums thereon or attributable thereto
as it determines to be advisable. The board may arrange or contract
for a contract or contracts of group insurance, a system of group
annuities, or a system of medical and hospital service, or any two or
more of these, with any private or public agency, nonprofit
membership corporation, or any insurance company or agent authorized
by or pursuant to law to transact such business within this State.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the provisions of
Chapter 250, Statutes of 1939, or of Section 1157 of the Government
Code insofar as such provisions apply to districts and officers and
employees thereof.

21190. Employees of districts are permanent employees if employed
to fill positions which, in the judgment of the board, normally
require more than six months employment in each year. Employees
employed for temporary or indefinite periods are temporary employees
for any period up to six months and thereafter, unless designated as
permanent employees by the board.
