At the time and place designated by the police jury in the ordinance creating the irrigation district, or as soon thereafter as possible, the commissioners appointed in the ordinance shall meet and immediately organize by electing officers as follows: They shall elect from among their number a president to preside over the meetings of the commissioners and to perform any other duties as are usually required of presidents of corporate bodies. The vice-president shall perform the duties of the president in case of his absence or disability.
The commissioners shall also elect a secretary-treasurer, who need not be a commissioner, who shall perform all duties required of him by the commissioners.
The secretary-treasurer shall furnish bond in a sum fixed by the board of commissioners, which bond shall not be for less than one-fourth over and above any amount that may come into the possession of the secretary-treasurer, and which bond shall be increased or diminished accordingly. The premium on the bond shall be paid by the district. The secretary-treasurer shall receive compensation, not in excess of two hundred fifty dollars per month, as the board of commissioners may determine.
