The board shall, in July of each year, elect from its members a chairman and a
vice chairman, who shall be of different political party affiliation. It shall employ
a secretary-treasurer and a chief engineer, neither of whom is a member of the
board. The secretary-treasurer and the chief engineer may be removed by the
board for cause, after hearing by it and after at least ten (10) days' notice in
writing has been given to the secretary-treasurer or chief engineer, as the case
may be, which notice shall embrace the charges preferred against him or her.
At the hearing he or she may be represented by counsel. The finding of the
board is final. The secretary-treasurer and the chief engineer shall each devote
his or her entire time and attention exclusively to the services of the board. The
board may employ, and remove at pleasure, professional and technical
advisers, experts, and other employees, skilled or unskilled, as it deems
requisite for the performance of its duties.
The board shall require the secretary-treasurer and the chief engineer each to
execute a bond and may exact from such of its other officers and employees
bonds as it deems expedient. All bonds shall be payable to the district in the
sums as the board may fix, with approved corporate surety, and premiums
therefor shall be paid by the district. The bonds shall obligate the makers
thereof to faithfully perform the duties of their respective offices and positions
and to fully account for and pay over all money, property, or other thing of
value of the district, which may come to their hands, respectively. The board
shall fix the salaries and compensation of the officers and employees it
engages, which salaries and compensation, however, shall be in line with that
paid by the city and county for similar services.
Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, when a city of the first class
and a county containing such city have in effect a compact under KRS 79.310
to 79.330, the executive director, secretary-treasurer, and chief engineer shall
be appointed by and serve at the joint pleasure of the mayor, and the county
judge/executive with the approval of the fiscal court pursuant to KRS 67.040.
Upon the establishment of a consolidated local government in a county where
a city of the first class and a county containing such city have had in effect a
cooperative compact pursuant to KRS 79.310 to 79.330, the executive director,
secretary-treasurer, and chief engineer shall be appointed by and serve at the
pleasure of the mayor.
