CHAPTER 54 An Act to amend and reenact § 10.1-530 of the Code of Virginia, relating to designation of a chairman for a soil and water conservation district board. [H 2077] Approved March 2, 2001

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 10.1-530 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 10.1-530. Designation of chairman; terms of office; filling vacancies.

A. The district directors shall designate a chairman, from the elected members, or from the Board-appointed members, of the district board and may change such designation.

B. The term of office of each district director shall be three years, except that the appointment of the first directors shall be for terms of office to provide for one appointment to be made in each year in which there is no election for directors within the district. A district director shall hold office until his successor has been elected or appointed and has qualified. The selection of successors to fill a full term shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this article.

C. A vacancy shall exist in the event of the death, resignation or removal of residence from the district of any director or the elimination or detachment from the district of the territory in which a director resides, or by the removal of a director from office by the Board. Any vacancy shall be filled by an appointment made by the Board for the unexpired term. The Board may fill vacancies in elective district directors' positions by appointment for the unexpired term. In the event of the creation of a new district, the transfer of territory from an existing district to an existing district, or the addition of territory not previously within an existing district to an existing district, the Board may appoint directors to fill the vacancies of elected directors prescribed by § 10.1-515 in the newly created district or in the territory added to an existing district. Such appointed directors shall serve in office until the elected directors prescribed by § 10.1-515 take office after the next general election at which directors for the entire district are selected.
