A certificate of the appointment or reappointment of any commissioner shall be filed with the Hailey city clerk and such certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the due and proper appointment of such commissioner.
B. By enactment of an ordinance, the Hailey city council may terminate the appointed board of commissioners and thereby appoint and designate itself as the board of commissioners of the Hailey urban renewal agency, in which case all the rights, powers, duties, privileges and immunities vested by Idaho Code section 50-2001 et seq., and as amended, in an appointed board of commissioners, shall be vested in the Hailey city council, who shall, in all respects when acting as the Hailey urban renewal agency, be acting as an arm of state government, entirely separate and distinct from the city of Hailey, to achieve, perform and accomplish the public purposes prescribed and provided by Idaho Code section 50-2001 et seq., and as amended.
C. For inefficiency or neglect of duty or misconduct in office, a commissioner may be removed only after a hearing and after the commissioner shall have been given a copy of the charges at least ten (10) days prior to such hearings and have had an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel.
