SECTION 8130-8134
8130. Upon the completion of the formation of the district, if the district is comprised of one city and unincorporated territory, the board shall appoint a commission composed of five members, three of whom shall be electors in the city and two of whom shall be electors in the unincorporated area within the district. 8130.1. Upon the completion of the formation of the district, if the district is comprised of two or more cities and unincorporated territory, the board shall appoint a commission composed of five members. The number of commissioners shall be so divided as to relate the number of commissioners from each unit as closely as possible to the proportion which the assessed valuation of that unit, as shown on the last equalized assessment roll of the county, bears to the total assessed valuation within the district at the time the district is formed, except that each unit shall have at least one commissioner. For the purposes of this section, all of the unincorporated area in the district shall be considered a single unit. If the district is comprised of two or more cities, without unincorporated territory, the appointment of commissioners shall be by the city councils of the respective cities, each such council appointing the number determined by the board as provided above. 8131. The commissioners first appointed shall so classify themselves by lot, that one member holds office for one year, one for two years, one for three years, and two for four years, thereafter appointments shall be for a four-year term. 8132. Each commissioner shall serve until the appointment and qualification of his successor. Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term. 8133. Within twenty days after their appointment, the commissioners shall meet and elect one member president, one member vice-president, and one member secretary. The terms of office of officers shall be one year. 8134. The commission is authorized to pay each commissioner an amount not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100) for each meeting of the commission attended by the commissioner, not exceeding two meetings during any one calendar month, together with expenses necessarily incurred by the commissioner in traveling between his or her place of residence and the place of meeting, and while traveling in connection with the business of the commission, when previously authorized by the commission.
