Statute Text
Commissioners; appointment; qualifications; quorum; continuing existence.
Upon adoption of the plan for
reclamation, the county judge shall, by order, appoint three commissioners (who
shall not be landowners in the district nor of kin within the fourth degree of
consanguinity to any person owning land in the district), one of whom shall be
a civil engineer and two of whom shall be freeholders residing within the
state. A majority of the commissioners shall constitute a quorum and shall
control the action of the board on all questions. Such commissioners shall
constitute a body which shall continue in office and may be convened at any
time by the county court for the purpose of correcting any errors, omissions or
other mistakes that shall have been discovered in its original report as the
same may have been amended and supplemented from time to time or for any other
good cause shown. The court shall fill any vacancy occurring in such body of
commissioners by appointment of a person who has the qualifications required by
this section of the commissioner the person is to replace. Whenever said body
of commissioners has been reconvened by the court, it shall thereafter make its
report in response to the directions of the court and such report when
completed shall be subject to ORS 547.245, with reference to a hearing thereon
and a confirmation thereof by order or judgment of the court before such
supplemental report shall go into effect. [Amended by 1953 c.434 §2; 2003 c.576
§506]
