260.315. 1. There is hereby established a solid waste management council for each solid waste management district, except for those districts which formulate an alternative management structure pursuant to section 260.300. The governing body of each city with a population over five hundred within the district shall appoint one member of the city governing body and the governing body of each county within the district shall appoint two members of the county governing body to the council.

2. Council members shall serve a term of two years and may be reappointed thereafter; however, members whose elected term of office in a city or county has expired shall be expeditiously replaced by the governing bodies from whence they were selected.

3. The council shall meet within thirty days of the receipt of notification of formation of the district at the call of the governing body of the county containing the largest population among those counties approving the formation of the district or, at the call of the director of the department, if the county does not call the meeting. A majority of the council shall constitute a quorum.

4. The council shall:

(1) Organize itself and select a chairman and such other officers as it deems appropriate;

(2) Select seven persons to serve on the executive board, at least a majority of whom shall be selected from members of the council. The council shall establish the terms of office for members of the executive board. The balance shall be selected in any manner approved by the council, including district-wide elections. Any subsequent member of the board shall be selected in the same manner as the person he replaces. If the council is composed of twelve or fewer members, the council shall act as the executive board;

(3) Meet at least twice annually and upon the call of either the chairman of the council or the chairman of the executive board; and

(4) Review and act upon the solid waste management plan recommended by the executive board.
