141.720. 1. The land trust shall be composed of three members, one

of whom shall be appointed by the county, as directed by the county

executive, or if the county does not have a county executive, as directed

by the county commission of the county, one of whom shall be appointed by

the municipality in the county which is not an appointing authority under

section 141.981 and then has the largest population according to the last

preceding federal decennial census, and one of whom shall be appointed by

the school district in the county which is not an appointing authority

under section 141.981 and then has the largest population according to such

census in the county. If any appointing authority under this section fails

to make any appointment of a land trustee after any term expires, then the

appointment shall be made by the county.



2. The terms of office of the land trustees shall be for four years

each, except the terms of the first land trustees who shall be appointed by

the foregoing appointing authorities, respectively, not sooner than twelve

months and not later than eighteen months after sections 141.210 to 141.810

take effect; provided, however, that the term of any land trustee appointed

by a municipality or school district that becomes an appointing authority

of a land bank agency under section 141.981 shall terminate and such

municipality and such school district shall cease to be appointing

authorities for such land trust under this section upon the completion of

all transfers to the land bank agency from the land trust required under

subsection 1 of section 141.984 or one year after the effective date of the

ordinance or resolution establishing the land bank agency, whichever is the

first to occur.



3. Each land trustee shall have been a resident of the county for at

least five years next prior to appointment, shall not hold other salaried

or compensated public office by election or appointment during service as

land trustee, the duties of which would in any way conflict with his duties

as land trustee, and shall have had at least ten years experience in the

management or sale of real estate.



4. Of the first land trustees appointed under sections 141.210 to

141.810, the land trustee appointed by the county commission shall serve

for a term ending February 1, 1946, the land trustee appointed by the board

of directors of the school district then having the largest population in

the county shall serve for a term expiring February 1, 1947, and the land

trustee appointed by the city council of the city then having the largest

population in the county shall serve for a term expiring February 1, 1948.

Each land trustee shall serve until his successor has been appointed and

qualified.



5. Any vacancy in the office of land trustee shall be filled for the

unexpired term by the same appointing authority which made the original

appointment. If any appointing authority fails to make any appointment of

a land trustee within the time the first appointments are required by

sections 141.210 to 141.810 to be made, or within thirty days after any

term expires or vacancy occurs, then the appointment shall be made by the

county.



6. The members shall receive for their services as land trustees a

salary of two thousand four hundred dollars per year.



7. Each land trustee may be removed for cause by the respective

appointing authority, after public hearing, if requested by the land

trustee, and an opportunity to be represented by counsel and to present

evidence is afforded the trustee.
