§ 315.370. Appointment of commissioners: Number; term; qualifications; vacancies
1. Upon the adoption of a resolution declaring the need for an authority, the chief
executive of the city or the governing body of the town or county, as the case may
be, shall thereupon appoint five persons to serve as commissioners of the authority.
Three of the commissioners who are first appointed pursuant to this section must be
designated to serve for terms of 1, 2 and 3 years, respectively, from the date of
their appointment, and two must be designated to serve for terms of 4 years from the
date of their appointment, but thereafter commissioners must be appointed for a term
of office of 4 years. 2. The first commissioner appointed after the authority has provided assistance to
at least five persons must be a current recipient of assistance from the authority
who was selected from a list of at least five eligible nominees submitted for this
purpose by an organization which represents tenants of housing projects. If no such organization exists, the commissioner must be selected from a list of nominees
submitted for this purpose from persons who currently receive assistance from the
authority. Thereafter, at least one commissioner must be such a recipient who was nominated and
appointed in the same manner. If during his or her term the commissioner ceases to be a recipient of assistance,
he or she must be replaced in the manner set forth in this subsection by a person
who is a recipient of assistance. 3. Nothing in this section affects the terms of office of commissioners appointed
to an authority created before October 1, 1995. The appointing authority shall appoint to the term next expiring a commissioner who
was nominated and appointed in the same manner as is set forth in subsection 2. Thereafter,
at least one commissioner must be such a recipient who was nominated and appointed
in the same manner. If during his or her term the commissioner ceases to be a recipient of assistance,
he or she must be replaced in the manner set forth in subsection 2 by a person who
is a recipient of assistance. 4. All vacancies must be filled for the unexpired term.
