2005 Minnesota Statutes - 252.25 — Board of directors.

     252.25 Board of directors. 


    Every city, town, governmental entity, nonprofit 
 corporation, or combination thereof, establishing a 
 developmental achievement center for children with mental 
 retardation or related conditions shall, before it comes under 
 the terms of sections 252.21 to 252.25, appoint a board of 
 directors for the center program.  When any city or town singly 
 establishes such a center, such board shall be appointed by the 
 chief executive officer of the city or the chair of the 
 governing board of the town.  When any combination of cities, 
 towns, or nonprofit corporations, establishes such a center, the 
 chief executive officers of the cities or nonprofit corporations 
 and the chair of the governing bodies of the towns shall appoint 
 the board of directors.  If a nonprofit corporation singly 
 establishes such a center, its chief executive officer shall 
 appoint the board of directors of the center.  Membership on a 
 board of directors while not mandatory, should be representative 
 of local health, education and welfare departments, medical 
 societies, mental health centers, associations concerned with 
 mental retardation and related conditions, civic groups, and the 
 general public.  Nothing in sections 252.21 to 252.25 shall be 
 construed to preclude the appointment of elected or appointed 
 public officials or members of the board of directors of the 
 sponsoring nonprofit corporation to such board of directors, or 
 public schools from administering programs under their present 
 administrative structure.
