     370.10 Filling vacancy in commissioner district caused 
  by change of boundaries. 

    If a change in the boundaries of a county abolishes a 
 commissioner district or districts in the county, by the removal 
 of all the territory of the district or districts from the 
 original county, or otherwise, or creates a vacancy or vacancies 
 in the board of county commissioners of the original county, the 
 filling of which is not provided for by law, and the board of 
 county commissioners is left with less than five members or with 
 an even number of members, the governor shall immediately, upon 
 the issuance of the proclamation declaring the change in the 
 boundaries, appoint a sufficient number of members to complete a 
 board of five commissioners for the county; or, if the board, 
 after the change of boundaries, is left with more than five 
 members, to complete a board consisting of an odd number of 
 members, and shall designate, in the appointment, the name of 
 the retiring commissioner succeeded by each commissioner 
 appointed.
