Filling vacancies in city council of historic ghost town to form quorum.
If a number of vacancies exist at
the same time in the offices of members of the city council of an historic
ghost town so that all the remaining members do not constitute a quorum for the
conduct of city business, the governing body of the county in which the
historic ghost town is situated shall appoint to the vacant offices the minimum
number of qualified persons sufficient, with the incumbent members of the city
council, to form a quorum. Persons appointed by the county governing body under
this section, together with the incumbent members serving in office, shall
appoint qualified persons to the remaining vacant offices. A person appointed
under this section shall perform the duties of the office of member of the city
council until the date on which, under the citys charter, an elected and
qualified successor could assume the office. On that date, the tenure of office
of persons appointed under this section shall cease. Persons appointed under
this section are eligible for reappointment. [1983 c.355 §2]
