(c) In any county having three county commissioner districts, the citizens may elect county extension council members at large or by county commissioner district as determined by the executive board of the county extension council for the county. In any county having other than three county commissioner districts, the citizens shall elect county extension council members at large. A county extension council elected at large shall also have a total elected membership of 24, with six members elected to represent agriculture who shall be actively engaged in agricultural pursuits, six members elected to represent home economics, six members elected to represent 4-H club and youth work, and six members elected to represent educational programs in economic development initiatives. When county extension council members are elected at large, 12 shall be elected annually, three of whom shall represent agriculture, three of whom shall represent home economics, three of whom shall represent 4-H club and youth work, and three of whom shall represent educational programs in economic development initiatives. County extension council members elected at large shall serve under the same conditions as county extension council members elected by county commissioner districts, except the provision that three members of the executive board shall be elected from each county commissioner district shall not apply.
(h) (1) The treasurer of the executive board after election as treasurer and before entering upon the duties of the office as treasurer shall execute to the council a corporate surety bond, of 100% of the amount as nearly as can be ascertained that shall be in the treasurer's hands at any one time. All the bonds shall be conditioned to the faithful discharge of the duties of the office of treasurer. The amount and sufficiency of all bonds shall be determined by the county clerk, and, upon the county clerk's approval endorsed on the bond, shall be filed with the county clerk, who shall immediately notify the secretary of the executive board and the county treasurer of the approval and filing. The cost of any corporate surety bond so furnished shall be paid by the executive board. In the event of the breach of any condition thereof, the chairperson of the executive board shall, and if the chairperson does not, any member of the county extension council may, cause a suit to be commenced thereon in the member's own name for the benefit of the council, in which suit it shall not be necessary to include the treasurer as a party to the suit and the money collected shall be applied to the use of the council, as the same should have been applied by the treasurer.
(3) The elected officers and the members of the executive board shall hold office for one year and until their successors are elected and qualify. Vacancies in the membership of the executive board shall be filled for the unexpired term from the remaining members of the county extension council by the executive board. Vacancies among the officers of the executive board shall be filled for the unexpired term by election from the members of the executive board. Each year not earlier than January 2, and not later than January 15, the retiring executive board shall meet with the newly elected executive board at a time and place designated by the chairperson of the retiring executive board. At the meeting the retiring executive board shall conclude all business of the past year and pay all lawful bills for the year in which it has served and provide the new executive board with all reports, records and other information which may be necessary to the operation of the county extension program during the ensuing year.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the terms of all members of any county extension council serving on the effective date of this act shall expire in 1987, and 24 members shall be elected to constitute and be the county extension council by one of the election methods authorized by this section. Of the members elected to the county extension in 1987, six members shall be elected to represent agriculture who shall be actively engaged in agricultural pursuits, six members shall be elected to represent home economics, six members shall be elected to represent 4-H club and youth work and six members shall be elected to represent educational programs in economic development initiatives. Three of each of the six members elected to represent each county extension council member group shall hold office for a one-year term and until their successors are elected and qualify, and three of each six-member group shall hold office for a two-year term and until their successors are elected and qualify.
