(A) The Board shall consist of five Trustees, consisting of the Fire Chief, who shall hold office by virtue of rank, and four members who shall be elected at large by the sworn members of the Department. All members of the Department shall be eligible to be elected as officers of the Department Foreign Fire Insurance Board. The members of this Board shall annually elect officers to be a Chairperson and a Treasurer. The Chairperson and Treasurer, as well as a Vice-Chairperson and Secretary, shall be elected at the first regular meeting of the Board and annually thereafter at the first regular meeting held during the calendar year.
(B) The original election to the Board shall consist of the Fire Chief and two of the officers elected from all of the regular full-time sworn members of the Department, having a term of three years, and the remaining two officers shall be elected for a period of two years. In subsequent elections each officer (including the Treasurer) shall hold office on the Board for a term of three years and until his or her successor is chosen. Election shall take place within 30 days following the effective date of this subchapter, and thereafter, during the final quarter of the calendar year in which the term of office expires. The term of each officer (including the Treasurer) shall run from January 1 of the year immediately following the year in which an election is held, except that for the original election, the term of office shall begin immediately following the election and shall include the period of time from the election to January 1. Each officer shall hold office during the term unless he or she no longer holds a qualifying position in the Fire Department, in which case his or her term shall cease immediately and he or she is thereby removed from the Board. The remaining Board officers shall appoint temporary successors to complete the unexpired term of any Board officer (including Treasurer).
(C) All elections shall be organized, conducted and supervised by the Village Clerk.
