RS 9042 - Commission, qualification of members; officers, appointment; vacancies; compensation; removal of commissioners

A. Any ambulance service district formed or created under this Chapter shall be governed by a board of seven commissioners, hereafter referred to as the commission, who shall be qualified voters and residents of the district. The commission shall be appointed by the municipal governing authority. Three of the first commissioners so appointed shall serve for two years, three for four years, and one for six years.

B. At the expiration of their respective terms of office, the successors to such appointees shall be appointed within thirty days for six-year terms. The municipal governing authorities shall fill vacancies in the same manner as the predecessor appointees were selected. Any member of the commission may be removed from office for cause and his appointment rescinded by two-thirds vote of the elected membership of the governing authority.

C. The commission annually shall elect one of its members chairman, and one vice chairman. The meeting shall be held at the domicile of the district established by the municipal governing authority. At least three regular meetings shall be held annually. Special meetings may be held at such times and places as shall be specified, by call of the chairman or the municipal governing authority.

D. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to the contrary, the governing authority of an ambulance service district in Cameron Parish shall not compensate its board of commissioners nor pay members a per diem for attending a regular or special meeting of the district. However, the governing authority shall reimburse the commissioners for actual expenses related to attending meetings and any other business on behalf of the district.
