19-3810. Board of directors; powers; qualifications; meetings; officers; rules and bylaws; seal; contracts; records, public; bond of treasurer; quarterly statements; duties of county treasurer. All powers granted to an incorporated industrial district shall be exercised by a board of directors consisting of five (5) persons of voting age resident of the county or counties in which the district is located and also owners of tangible taxable property in such district, or officers or stockholders of a corporation which owns tangible taxable property in such industrial district. At the next election following the effective date of this act seven (7) directors shall be elected to the board and thereafter the board of directors shall consist of seven members. As soon as practicable after such directors are appointed as provided by this act or elected as hereinafter set out, they shall each qualify by taking an oath of office faithfully to support the constitutions of the United States of America and of the state of Kansas and to perform their duties as directors of the industrial district so provided by this act. Thereafter, such directors shall also meet in the district and elect from their number a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer and adopt rules and bylaws to regulate the transaction of business of the district, which they may amend or change by majority vote of the board of directors. They shall adopt an official seal with which all contracts of the district shall be authenticated. The president shall preside at all meetings of the board and in his or her absence the vice-president shall preside. All contracts of the district shall be signed by the president or vice-president, attested by the secretary and authenticated by the official seal of the district. All transactions and proceedings of the board of directors shall be entered in a journal to be kept for the purpose of recording all official acts, resolutions, orders and enactments of the board, which shall be open to public inspection. The treasurer of the district shall at the cost of the district furnish surety bond in such amount as may be ordered by the board of directors and approved by it, conditioned that he or she will pay, according to law, all moneys which shall come to his or her hands as treasurer and will render a just and true account thereof whenever required by the board of directors or by any provision of law, and shall deliver over to his or her successor in office or to any other person authorized by law to receive the same, all moneys, books, papers and other things appertaining thereto or belonging to said office. Said bond shall be filed with the secretary.

It shall be the duty of the treasurer of the district to keep an accurate account of all funds that come into his or her hands and said district treasurer shall, on the first day of January, April, July and October of each year, prepare a full, complete and comprehensive statement of the finances of the district, showing in full detail thereon the amounts of money received and expended during the preceding quarter. The purchase price of all bonds sold by the board of directors for cash shall be paid directly to the county treasurer and he or she shall retain the same, until paid out on written order of the board of directors. The county treasurer of the county in which the district is located shall on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year (or oftener as required by the board of directors), pay over to the treasurer of the district all moneys collected for and payable to the district, and make a full, itemized statement thereof to the board of directors, and the county treasurer shall take duplicate receipts from the district treasurer for the same and file one of the receipts with the county clerk.
