Latest version.
  • 1. The judges of said court shall constitute
      the board of judges of the county. The  judge  elected  from  the  first
      district  shall  be  the  president.  The meetings of the board shall be
      public, except when such board shall be in executive session, and so far
      as is practicable shall be  held  at  regular  intervals,  and  all  its
      proceedings shall be recorded by its secretary and shall be preserved. A
      majority  of  the  members  of  the board shall constitute a quorum. The
      board may by resolution provide for the conduct  of  its  meetings,  the
      keeping  and  preservation  of  its  minutes  and  the public inspection
      thereof at reasonable times; for the order  of  judicial  business,  the
      manner  of  its  discharge and the maintenance of order in and about the
      courts; for the  establishment  of  parts  of  the  court  and  for  the
      assignment of judges to hold the several parts so established.
        2. The board of judges shall designate the number and general location
      of  the places, one or more for each judge, in which court shall be held
      in each district. The president of the board of judges shall preside and
      shall be entitled to vote at all meetings of the board. In  addition  to
      all  the  powers  of  a  member  of  the board he shall exercise general
      supervision of the business of the court and have such other  powers  as
      may  be conferred by resolution of the board. He shall whenever he deems
      it necessary for the prompt disposition of business,  assign  any  judge
      temporarily to hold court in any district in the county, other than that
      in  which  he  had been assigned by the board, and he may transfer cases
      for trial or for all purposes from one district to another. The acts  or
      directions  of  the  president  of  the  board of judges may be vacated,
      amended or modified by a two-thirds vote of the members at a regular  or
      special meeting of the board.
        3.  The board of judges shall designate a clerk of the court to act as
      secretary of the board and from time to time  substitute  another.  Such
      secretary  shall  serve  without  additional compensation. All necessary
      disbursements of the board of judges and the secretary thereof shall  be
      a  charge against the first judicial district and paid as other district
      charges.
