749.18 Board of governors of municipal hospital - powers.
If an agreement under section 749.16 of the Revised Code concerns or includes participation of a joint township hospital district, or of a county, in the maintenance and operation of a municipal hospital, the municipal corporation may establish a board of governors to exercise, subject to such further limitations as are imposed by the agreement, the powers vested in the board of hospital commissioners, provided that any such limitations shall not deny the board of governors the authority to retain counsel, to institute legal action in its own name, or to employ any other lawful means, for the collection of delinquent accounts. The board of governors may include in its membership representatives of a participating district who are electors of the district, or of a participating county who are electors of that county or an adjacent county, as are provided for in the agreement.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, the municipal members of the board of governors shall consist of the mayor, who by virtue of that office shall be its president, and four resident freeholders of the municipal corporation, at least one of whom shall be a doctor of medicine, to be appointed by the mayor with the consent of the legislative authority. However, if necessary to secure qualified individuals to serve on the board of governors, the municipal members of the board may be residents of the county in which the municipal corporation is located or of an adjacent county. The term of office of those municipal members shall be as provided in section 749.05 of the Revised Code.
The board of governors, subject to the terms of the agreement, shall establish regulations and elect officers, other than president, as its members determine. The members shall be entitled to the compensation for their services provided by the agreement.
