Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

When a
governing body of a county adopts a resolution as aforesaid, it shall appoint
five (5) or seven (7) persons as commissioners of the authority created for
said county. Commissioners of the authority shall serve terms of five (5)
years. If the governing body of a county appoints five (5) persons as
commissioners of the authority, the commissioners who are first appointed
shall be designated to serve for terms of one (1), two (2), three (3), four
(4), and five (5) years, except that all vacancies shall be filled for the
unexpired term. If the governing body of a county appoints seven (7) persons
as commissioners of the authority, the commissioners who are first appointed
shall be designated to serve terms as follows: one (1) commissioner for a one
(1) year term, two (2) commissioners for two (2) year terms, two (2)
commissioners for three (3) year terms, one (1) commissioner for a four (4)
year term and one (1) commissioner for a five (5) year term, except that all
vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term. Upon resolution by a
governing body of a county, after an authority has been created with either
five (5) or seven (7) commissioners, the number of commissioners may be
increased from five (5) to seven (7) or reduced from seven (7) to five (5). No
commissioner of any authority may be an officer or employee of the county for
which the authority is created. A commissioner shall hold office until his
successor has been appointed and qualified. A certificate of appointment or
reappointment of any commissioner shall be filed with the clerk and such
certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the due and proper appointment of
such commissioner. The service of a housing assistance recipient appointed as
a commissioner pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1437(b) shall be contingent upon
his continued receipt of housing assistance. A commissioner shall receive no
compensation for his services for the authority in any capacity, but he shall
be entitled to the necessary expenses, including travel expenses, incurred in
the discharge of his duties.
The powers of each authority shall be vested in the commissioners. A
majority of the appointed commissioners shall constitute a quorum of the
authority for the purpose of conducting its business and exercising its powers
and for all other purposes. Action may be taken by the authority upon a vote
of a majority of the commissioners present. The bylaws of the authority shall
designate which of the commissioners appointed shall be the first chairman and
such chairman shall serve in the capacity of chairman until the expiration of
his term of office as commissioner. When the office of the chairman of the
authority thereafter becomes vacant, the commissioners shall select a chairman
from their number, a vice chairman, and may employ a secretary, an executive
director who shall serve as an at-will employee of the commissioners,
technical experts and such other officers, agents and employees, permanent and
temporary, as it may require, and shall determine their qualifications, duties
and compensation. For such legal services as it may require, an authority may
call upon the prosecuting attorney of the county or may employ its own counsel
and legal staff. An authority may delegate to one (1) or more of its agents or
employees such powers or duties as it may deem proper.
