"An act to authorize and empower villages and townships of this
state having a population not exceeding 10,000 inhabitants, to levy
a tax for the maintenance or the purchase of lands and maintenance
of property for a community center for the benefit of the public,
provided the question of such purchase or maintenance, or both
purchase and maintenance, as the case may be, is submitted to the
duly qualified voters of such villages or townships and is adopted
by a majority vote of those participating in said election; and to
prescribe penalties and provide remedies,"
by amending section 3 (MCL 123.43), as amended by 2000 PA 435.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 3. (1) If a village or township votes to establish a
community center, the governing body of the village or township
shall
appoint 6 directors for boards established before the
effective
date of the amendatory act that added subsection (2)
January 9, 2001 and 7 directors for boards established on or after
the
effective date of the amendatory act that added subsection (2)
January 9, 2001 who shall hold office until their successors are
elected
and qualified. For boards established before the effective
date
of the amendatory act that added subsection (2), January 9,
2001, the governing body of the village or township shall appoint 1
additional director who shall hold office until his or her
successor is elected and qualified. At the next regular election
there shall be elected a community board of 7 directors, 2 for 1
year, 2 for 2 years, and 3 for 3 years, and then annually there
shall be elected the number of directors whose terms have expired,
who shall hold office for 3 years or until their successors are
elected and qualified. Alternatively, the governing body of a
village or township may by resolution provide that at the next
regular election, and then every 2 years, there shall be elected a
community board of 7 directors, who shall hold office for 2 years
or until their successors are elected and qualified.
(2) If a village or township initially elected directors for
3-year terms as described in subsection (1), its governing body may
subsequently adopt a resolution providing for the election every 2
years of directors for 2-year terms. The resolution shall provide
for the transition of the elective terms from 3 to 2 years as
follows:
(a) The offices of those directors whose terms first expire
after the adoption of the resolution shall be filled at the next
scheduled local, state, or federal election by the election of that
number of directors who shall hold office for 2 years, and then
every 2 years for 2 years or until their successors are elected and
qualified.
(b) The offices of those directors whose terms next expire
after the adoption of the resolution shall be filled in the year
following the election in subdivision (a) by the election of that
number of directors who shall hold office for 1 year, and then
every 2 years for 2 years or until their successors are elected and
qualified.
(c) The offices of those directors whose terms last expire
after the adoption of the resolution shall be filled as described
in subdivision (a).
(3)
The directors shall serve without compensation. The
governing body of the village or township shall determine by
resolution the compensation of the board of directors. A vacancy in
the board of directors occasioned by a removal, a resignation, or
otherwise shall be reported to the governing body of the village or
township, which shall proceed to appoint a director to fill the
vacancy.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
