The Judge of the Municipal Court shall appoint two commissioners of jurors, not more than one of whom shall be of the same political party. Such commissioners shall be subject to call by the Judge and their appointments shall be in writing filed in the office of the Clerk of the Court and entered upon the journal of the Court. They shall hold office at the pleasure of the Judge who may at any time, for good cause shown, remove any commissioner and appoint a successor. Upon a vacancy occurring for any cause the Judge, as soon as practicable, in like manner shall appoint a successor. The successor so appointed shall be of the same political party as the commissioner whose place is to be filled.
Before entering upon their duties, the commissioners shall take and subscribe to the oath of office prescribed by Ohio R.C. 2313.03. The commissioners, with the approval of the Judge, may authorize a deputy to act in their place or places, and in case of the absence or disability of any commissioner, the Judge may give such authority. Such deputy may perform such duty or duties as a commissioner is authorized to perform. Such commissioners or any deputies may administer an oath or affirmation in relation to any matter embraced within their duties or the selection, exemption or service of jurors, which shall be provided by rule of Court. Such commissioners or deputy commissioners shall be paid compensation from the City Treasury as determined by Council and certified by the Judge.
