The term of office of membership shall be 4 years for each member. Any vacancy occurring on the Board shall be filled by the appropriate County Commissioner for the remainder of the unexpired term, at the earliest possible date.

Members of the Board shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties, as shall be determined and approved by the County Commission. All new members shall receive an orientation or training upon being appointed to the Board. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Board members shall be governed by the provisions applicable to all County boards, as set forth in Chapter 2, Article IB of the Code. The members of the Board shall annually elect a Chair, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Board, and such other officers as may be deemed necessary or desirable. No Board member shall serve more than 2 consecutive terms as Chair.
