The chairman shall preside over meetings of the board and perform such other duties as may be required by action of the board. The vice chairman shall perform the duties of the chairman in the absence of the latter or upon the chairman's inability or refusal to act. Each person who was elected to membership on the board of trustees or who is a candidate for membership on the board of trustees shall file with the Missouri ethics commission a campaign finance disclosure form showing:

(1) The amounts and sources of all contributions received for the purpose of supporting such person's candidacy or for the purpose of opposing any other candidate; and

(2) The amounts and recipients of all expenditures made for the purpose of supporting such person's candidacy or for the purpose of opposing any other candidate. The disclosure reports shall be filed not later than the fifteenth day prior to the date of the election for the period closing on the twentieth day prior to the election, and not later than the thirtieth day after the date of the election for the period from the nineteenth day prior to the date of the election to the twenty-fifth day after the date of the election. Such reports shall be public records and shall be made available by the Missouri ethics commission during normal business hours. Any person who purposefully fails or refuses to file the reports required by this subsection is guilty of a class A misdemeanor.

2. The board shall appoint an executive director who shall be the executive officer of the system and who shall have charge of the offices, records, and employees of the system, subject to the direction of the board. Other employees of the system shall be chosen only upon the recommendation of the executive director.

3. All employees of the system shall be both state employees and members of the system. Except by the unanimous vote of the board, no person who has served as a trustee of the board may become an employee of the system until four years have expired between the date of his or her resignation, termination, or other removal as trustee and the date of his or her appointment as an employee of the system.

4. Employees of the system shall receive such salaries as shall be fixed by the board and their necessary travel expense within and without the state as shall be authorized by the board.

5. Any summons or other writ issued by the courts of the state shall be served upon the executive director or, in his or her absence, on the executive director's designee.
