        303.52  BOARD OF TRUSTEES -- POWERS AND DUTIES.
         1.  The trustees elected under this subchapter constitute the
      board of trustees for the district, which is the corporate authority
      of the district, and shall exercise all the powers and manage and
      control all the affairs of the district.  A majority of the board of
      trustees is a quorum, but a smaller number may adjourn from day to
      day.  The board of trustees may elect a president, vice president,
      clerk, and a treasurer from their own number and, from without their
      own number, employees of the district.  The compensation of members
      of the board of trustees is fixed not to exceed ten dollars per day,
      or any part of a day, for each day the board is actually in session
      and ten dollars per day when not in session but employed on board
      service, and twenty cents for every mile traveled in going to and
      from sessions of the board and in going to and from the place of
      performing board service.  Members of the board shall not receive
      compensation for more than sixty days of session and board service
      each year.
         2.  The board of trustees shall formulate and administer a land
      use plan which includes all ordinances, resolutions, rules, and
      regulations necessary for the proper administration of the land use
      district.  The land use plan shall be created for the primary purpose
      of regulating and restricting, where deemed necessary, the erection,
      construction, reconstruction, alteration, repair, or use of
      buildings, structures, or land in a manner which would maintain or
      enhance the distinctive historical and cultural character of the
      district.  The ordinances, resolutions, rules, and regulations shall
      not apply to any tillable farmland, pastureland, timber pasture or
      forestland located within the district except to structures of an
      advertising or commercial nature located on the land.
         3.  The board of trustees shall provide for the manner in which
      the land use plan shall be established and enforced and amended,
      supplemented, or changed.  However, a plan shall not become effective
      until after a public hearing on it, at which parties in interest and
      citizens of the district shall have an opportunity to be heard.  At
      least fifteen days notice of the time and place of the hearing shall
      be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the
      district giving the time, date, and location of the public hearing.
         4.  The board of trustees shall appoint an administrative officer
      authorized to enforce the resolutions or ordinances adopted by the
      board of trustees.  The board of trustees may pay the administrative
      officer the compensation it deems fit from the funds of the district.
