members of the county commission of the county in which said district is

located, at a meeting to be held in the meeting place of the county

commission, at which meeting the presiding commissioner of the county

composed of three persons, designating one to serve for three years, one for

two years and one for one year, and in February every year thereafter one

special road district commissioner shall be appointed as above specified, to

serve for three years. However, beginning in 1994, the commissioner whose

appointment will expire in February, 1994, shall serve until the first

Tuesday in April of that year at which time a commissioner shall be elected

to hold office for three years and until a successor is elected,

commissioned, and qualified. Those commissioners whose terms expire in 1995

or 1996 shall serve until the first Tuesday in April in 1995 or 1996,

respectively, at which time a commissioner shall be elected to hold office

for three years and until a successor is elected, commissioned, and qualified

to replace each commissioner. All subsequent commissioners shall be elected

at the appropriate election held on the first Tuesday in April for three-year

terms. An appointee shall be eligible to file for election as commissioner.

The nominations and elections shall be governed by the provisions of law

relating to the nomination and election of persons on a nonpartisan basis at

such elections. All such commissioners shall be resident taxpayers of the

district, and shall serve until their successors are appointed or elected and

qualified, with vacancies to be filled by the county commission. Resignations

shall be to the county clerk. Removal from the district shall create a

vacancy.



2. Such commissioners, before entering upon the discharge of their

duties, shall take oath of office, to be administered by the clerk of the

county commission.
