(1) Each director, within thirty days after his or her election or appointment to fill a vacancy, except for good cause shown, shall appear before an officer authorized to administer oaths and take an oath that he or she will faithfully perform the duties of his or her office as required by law and will support the constitution of the United States, the constitution of the state of Colorado, and the laws made pursuant thereto. When an election is cancelled in whole or in part pursuant to section 1-13.5-513, C.R.S., each director who was declared elected shall take the oath required by this subsection (1) within thirty days after the date of the regular election, except for good cause shown. The oath may be administered by the county clerk and recorder, by the clerk of the court, by any person authorized to administer oaths in this state, or by the chairman of the board and shall be filed with the clerk of the court and with the division.

(2) At the time of filing said oath, there shall also be filed for each director an individual, schedule, or blanket surety bond at the expense of the special district, in an amount determined by the board of not less than one thousand dollars each, conditioned upon the faithful performance of his duties as director.

(3) If any director fails to take the oath or furnish the requisite bond within the period allowed, except for good cause shown, his office shall be deemed vacant, and the vacancy thus created shall be filled in the same manner as other vacancies in the office of director.
