Section 386. Board of managers; appointment; terms; expenses  


Latest version.
  • When the board
      of  supervisors  shall  have  determined to establish a hospital for the
      care and treatment of persons suffering  from  tuberculosis,  and  shall
      have  acquired a site therefor, and shall have awarded contracts for the
      necessary buildings and improvements  thereon,  it  shall  appoint  five
      citizens  of  the  county,  of  whom  at  least  two shall be practicing
      physicians, who shall  constitute  a  board  of  managers  of  the  said
      hospital.  The term of office of each member of said board shall be five
      years, and the term of one of such managers shall expire  annually;  the
      first appointments shall be made for the respective terms of five, four,
      three,  two  and one years.  Appointments of successors shall be for the
      full term of five years, except that  appointment  of  persons  to  fill
      vacancies  occurring  by death, resignation or other cause shall be made
      for  the  unexpired  term.  Failure  of  any  manager  to  attend  three
      consecutive  meetings  of the board shall cause a vacancy in his office,
      unless said absence  is  excused  by  formal  action  of  the  board  of
      managers. The managers shall receive no compensation for their services,
      but  shall  be  allowed  their  actual and necessary traveling and other
      expenses, to be audited and paid,  in  the  same  manner  as  the  other
      expenses  of  the hospital, by the board of supervisors. Any manager may
      at any time be removed from office by the board of  supervisors  of  the
      county, for cause after an opportunity to be heard.
