(a) A port authority created in accordance with this act shall be
governed by a board of directors. Members of a board of directors of a port
authority created by the exclusive action of a city shall consist of the
number of members, not less than five, it deems necessary and be
appointed by the governing body. Members of a board of directors of a port
authority created by the exclusive action of a county shall consist of such
members as it deems necessary and be appointed by the county commissioners
of such county. Members of a board of directors of a port authority created
by a combination of cities and counties shall be divided among such
political subdivisions in such proportions as such political subdivisions
may agree and appointed in the same manner as this section provides for
their appointment when such political subdivision creates its own port
authority. When a port authority is created by a combination of political
subdivisions, the number of directors composing the board shall be
determined by agreement between such political subdivisions. The appointing
body may at any time remove a director appointed by it for misfeasance,
nonfeasance, or malfeasance in office.
(b) The directors of any port authority first appointed shall serve
staggered terms. Thereafter each successor shall serve for a term of four
years, except that any person appointed to fill a vacancy shall be
appointed to only the unexpired term and any director shall be eligible for
reappointment, and no director shall be removed except for cause, and if
removed shall have the right of appeal to the district court of the county
from which the director was appointed.
(c) The directors shall elect one of their membership as chairperson
and another as vice-chairperson,
and shall designate their terms of office, and
shall create and
appoint such other positions and officers as the directors deem appropriate
and provided for in their rules and regulations. A majority of the
board of directors shall constitute a quorum, the affirmative vote of which
shall be necessary for any action taken by the port authority.
(d) Each member of the board of directors of a port authority shall be
entitled to receive from the port authority reimbursement for necessary and
actual expenses incurred in the performance of such director's duties.
