Officers take office as soon as they qualify except that officers elected or appointed pursuant to the Uniform District Election Law shall take office at noon on the first Friday in December next following the general district election. 34705. The term of office of each elective officer subsequent to the officers elected at the formation election is four years or until his successor qualifies and takes office. 34707. If any office becomes vacant from any cause it shall be filled by appointment by the board. 34707.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a vacancy in the office of board member who was elected to office shall be filled pursuant to Section 1780 of the Government Code. 34708. At any time after four years from the date of the formation of a district, and from time to time thereafter, but not less than 120 days before a general district election, the board may, by resolution, increase the number of directors to serve thereon to 7, 9 or 11, and may designate the first additional members to serve on said enlarged board. The board shall determine the term of office of each of the new directors so appointed, but in no event shall such term designated by the board be for more than four years. The terms of office thus created shall be determined in such a manner as to keep as nearly equal as practicable the number of directors to be elected at each subsequent general district election. Upon the expiration of such term so designated by the board said directorship shall be filled at the next general district election and general district elections held thereafter for the election of officers of the district. The term of office of each director elected at a general district election is four years or until his successor qualifies and takes office. 34708.5.

At least 90 days before the date of a general district election wherein the offices of assessor and tax collector will be subject to election, the board may determine that these officers shall henceforth be appointed by the board to serve at its pleasure, or, if a board has adopted the alternative provisions of Part 7.5 (commencing with Section 37200) of this division, it may by resolution eliminate these district offices. A person appointed pursuant to this section need not be a resident or elector of the district.
