Filling by appointment

Filling by appointment. (a) A vacancy in a district director office shall be filled by appointment by a majority of the remaining directors. However, if a vacancy exists in a majority of the offices of director, or if a majority of the directors cannot agree on an appointment, then notice of the vacancy shall be given to the county commission by either a district director or district member. The county commission shall fill the vacancy within thirty (30) days of being notified or by the time specified in the principal act. If the county commission finds that a vacancy exists in a majority of offices of director or that a majority of the directors cannot agree on an appointment, the county commission may fill the vacancy by acting on its own motion without notice. (b) All appointments shall be evidenced by an appropriate entry in the minutes of the meeting at which the appointment was made. (c) An appointee to the office of director shall serve until the office is filled following the next regular election. The term of office of an appointee shall not be extended in any manner beyond the term of office that the appointee was appointed to fill. If a vacancy exists following a regular election the vacancy shall be filled as provided in subsection (a) of this section. (d) The appointed person before undertaking the duties of office shall take an oath of office in accordance with W.S.
