The library board of a regional library shall consist of six
appointed members and, in addition thereto, the official head of each
participating county or township shall appoint a member of the governing
body to be an ex officio member with the
same powers as appointed members. Each county or township participating
in a regional library shall be equally represented on the library board,
but in case such uniform representation cannot be obtained because of
the number of counties or townships participating, the governing body
shall agree on a method of rotating representation among the
participating counties or townships. The official head of each
participating county or township, with the approval of the governing
body thereof, shall appoint the members from such county or township.
Terms of all members of the library board of any township library previously
established under the authority of K.S.A. 80-804 shall expire on the effective
date of this act and successors to such members shall be appointed in the
manner and for the terms prescribed in this section.
The members first appointed shall be appointed, one for a term
expiring the first April 30th following date of appointment, two for
terms expiring the second April 30th following date of appointment, one
for a term expiring the third April 30th following date of
appointment, and two for terms expiring the fourth April 30th
following date of appointment. Upon the expiration of the terms of
members first appointed, succeeding members shall be appointed in like
manner for terms of four years. Vacancies occasioned by removal from
the county or township, resignation or otherwise, shall be filled by
appointment for the unexpired term. Except for the ex officio members of
the board, no person holding any office in a participating county or
township shall be a member of the library board while holding such
office, and no person who has been appointed for two four-year terms
to the library board shall be eligible for further appointment to such
board.
