SECTION 1. IC 36-8-11-14 IS AMENDED TO READ AS
FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2011]: Sec. 14. (a) At the first
regular meeting each year, the trustees of the board shall elect a
chairman and vice chairman from their number. The vice chairman
shall act as chairman during the absence or disability of the chairman.
(b) A majority of the trustees constitutes a quorum. An action of the
board is official, however, only if it is authorized by a majority of the
trustees at a regular or properly called special meeting.
(c)
Each trustee may receive not more than twenty dollars ($20) a
day for each day devoted to the work of the district. The board may
pay each trustee a reasonable amount for service as a trustee. The
board shall determine the amount to be paid for service as a
trustee. However, the amount paid to a trustee may not exceed two
thousand dollars ($2,000) per year. In addition, each trustee may be
reimbursed for actual expenses, including traveling expense at a rate
equivalent to that provided by statute for state employees. Claims for
expense reimbursement must be accompanied by an itemized written
statement and approved by a recorded motion of the board.
(d) At the time the county legislative body initially appoints the
board, it shall order where the board will maintain its offices. The
offices may not be changed without approval of the legislative body.
The board shall arrange for office space and keep a record of all
transactions and minutes of all meetings in the office. All records and
minutes shall be kept available for public inspection.
