(A) There is a Board of Adjustment of three members, to be known as the County Board of Adjustment. Each of the three members of the Board shall be a resident of the county. The members of the Board of Adjustment shall serve without compensation, except that the Board of County Commissioners shall provide for reimbursement of the members of the Board of Adjustment for actual expenses incurred, upon presentation of proper receipts and vouchers. Terms for the members of such a Board of Adjustment shall be of such length and so arranged that the term of at least one member will expire each year. Any member of the Board of Adjustment may be removed for cause by the Board of County Commissioners upon written charges.
(B) Vacancies shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as in the case of original appointments. The Board of County Commissioners may appoint alternate members, and in the event that any regular member is temporarily unable to act owing to absence from the county, illness, interest in a case before the Board or any other cause, his or her place may be taken during such temporary disability by an alternate member designated for the purpose.
(C) Meetings of the Board of Adjustment shall be held at the call of the Chairperson and at such other times as the Board, in its rules of procedure, may specify. The Chairperson, or, in his or her absence, the acting Chairperson, may administer oaths and compel the attendance of witnesses. All meetings of the Board of Adjustment shall be open to the public. The Board shall keep minutes of its proceedings, showing the vote of each member upon each question, or if absent or failing to vote, indicating such fact, and shall keep records of its examinations and other official actions, all of which shall be immediately filed in the office of the Board of Adjustment and shall be a public record.
