82a-1341. Same; organization of district board of directors; conduct of business; filling of vacancies. Within not more than 90 days after the recording of the certificate of incorporation, a meeting open to all members of the district shall be held by the steering committee for the election of the initial board of directors of the district. A notice of the meeting shall be mailed to all members by the steering committee at least 10 days prior to the date thereof. Each member in the district shall be entitled to vote for as many candidates as the number of directors that are to be elected, but may not cast more than one vote for any one candidate. The candidates receiving the greatest number of votes cast shall respectively be declared elected. The board of directors, after being duly elected, shall elect from its number a president, vice-president, secretary and a treasurer. In districts having only three directors, the board shall elect one director to hold the offices of secretary and treasurer. A majority of the directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and a majority of those voting shall determine all actions taken by the board. In the absence of any of the duly elected officers, those directors present at any meeting may select a director to act as an officer pro tem. The elected board shall fill any vacancy occurring on the board prior to the expiration of the term of any director by selecting a replacement from among the members of the district to serve for the unexpired term.
