1998 Minnesota Statutes

     370.11 Commissioner at large; qualification. 

    Each commissioner appointed by the governor shall be chosen 
 from the county for which appointed, shall not be a resident of 
 any town which already has a member on the board, and shall be 
 known as a commissioner at large.  The appointment shall at once 
 be communicated to the auditor of the county, who shall 
 immediately notify the appointee.  The appointee shall qualify 
 as a commissioner, in the same manner as other commissioners in 
 the same county, at any time within five days after notice of 
 the appointment.  Failure to do so shall be considered a refusal 
 of the office, and the governor shall appoint another 
 commissioner at large, and the same procedure shall be followed 
 until the vacancy is filled.
