. The term of office of each member shall be four years and
until the appointment and qualification of his or her successor. Upon
enlargement of the commission by two members, as provided in Section
56332, the new members first appointed to represent independent
special districts shall classify themselves by lot so that the
expiration date of the term of office of one new member coincides
with the existing member who holds the office represented by the
original two-year term on the commission and the term of office of
the other new member coincides with the existing member who holds the
office represented by the original four-year term on the commission.
The body which originally appointed a member whose term has expired
shall appoint his or her successor for a full term of four years. Any
member may be removed at any time and without cause by the body
appointing that member. The expiration date of the term of office of
each member shall be the first Monday in May in the year in which the
term of the member expires, unless procedures adopted by the
commission specify an alternate date to apply uniformly to all
members. However, the length of a term of office shall not be
extended more than once. Any vacancy in the membership of the
commission shall be filled for the unexpired term by appointment by
the body which originally appointed the member whose office has
become vacant.
The chairperson of the commission shall be selected by the members
of the commission.
Commission members and alternates shall be reimbursed for the
actual amount of their reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in
attending meetings and in performing the duties of their office. The
commission may authorize payment of a per diem to commission members
and alternates for each day while they are in attendance at meetings
of the commission.
