Subdivision 4. Each Member City agrees that its representative Commissioner will not <br />be removed from the Board prior to the expiration of the Commissioner's term, unless said <br />Commissioner consents in writing or unless said Member City has presented the Commissioner <br />with charges in writing and has held a public hearing after reasonable notice to the <br />Commissioner. <br />A Member City may remove a Commissioner or an Alternate Commissioner for just <br />cause or for violation of a Code of Ethics of the Commission or a Member City, or for <br />malfeasance, nonfeasance, or misfeasance. Said hearing shall be held by the Council of the <br />Member City that appointed the Commissioner. <br />A Commissioner who is an elected official of a Member City, and who is not reelected, <br />may be removed by the appointing Member City at the Member City's discretion. Any decision <br />by a Member City to remove a Commissioner may be appealed to the Board of Water and Soil <br />Resources. A certified copy of the Member City Council's Resolution removing said <br />Commissioner shall be filed with the Secretary of the Board and shall show compliance with the <br />terms of this section. <br />Subdivision 5. Each Member City shall within 30 days of appointment file with the <br />Secretary of the Board a record of the appointment of its Commissioner and its Alternate <br />Commissioner. The LRRWMO shall notify the Board of Water and Soil Resources of <br />Commissioner appointments and vacancies within 30 days after receiving notice from the <br />Member Cities. Member Cities shall fill all vacancies within 90 days after the vacancy occurs. <br />Subdivision 6. Commissioners shall serve without compensation from the LRRWMO, <br />but this shall not prevent a Member City from providing compensation for its Commissioner for <br />serving on the Board, if such compensation is authorized by such Member City and by law. <br />LRRWMO funds may be used to reimburse a Commissioner or Alternate Commissioner for <br />expenses incurred in performing LRRWMO business if authorized by the Board. <br />Subdivision 7. At the first meeting of the Board and in February of each year thereafter, <br />the Board shall elect from its Commissioners a Chair, a Vice Chair, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and <br />such other officers as it deems necessary to conduct its meetings and affairs. At the <br />organizational meeting or as soon thereafter as it may be reasonably done, the Board shall adopt <br />rules and regulations governing its meetings. Such rules and regulations may be amended from <br />time to time at either a regular or a special meeting of the Board provided that a ten -day prior <br />notice of the proposed amendment has been furnished to each person to whom notice of the <br />Board meetings is required to be sent. A majority vote of all eligible votes of the then existing <br />Commissioners shall be sufficient to adopt any proposed amendment to such rules and <br />regulations. <br />The Board shall notify each Member City of the location and time of regular and special <br />meetings called or established by the Board. A meeting shall be held at least annually, and all <br />meetings shall be called and open to the public pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 13D. <br />438695v4 LW105 -1 <br />5 <br />
