422A.03 MEETINGS; EMPLOYEES; RULES AND REGULATIONS.
    Subdivision 1. Meetings; employees. The retirement board shall meet on the third Tuesday
of each calendar month of each year and may adjourn from time to time. Special meetings may be
held upon the call of the president. The board shall, by a four-sevenths vote of all members of
the board, appoint an executive director, who shall have charge of the performance of the duties
required by the provisions of this chapter, and who shall appoint other necessary employees to
positions approved in advance by the board. If at the time of appointment as executive director the
appointee holds a position subject to the civil service rules and regulations of the city the appointee
shall be deemed to be on leave of absence from the civil service position during tenure as
executive director, and upon termination of service shall be returned to the appointee's permanent
civil service classification. If no vacancy is available in the appointee's permanent civil service
classified position, seniority shall prevail, and the person most recently certified to the position
shall be returned to the permanent civil service classification held prior to such certification.
    Subd. 2. Removal of executive director; classification of employees. The executive
director may be removed by a four-sevenths vote of all members of the board at a meeting called
for that purpose. Before exercising the power of removal, 15 days' written notice shall be given to
the executive director setting forth the cause for removal and stating the time and place where
the charges will be heard. The hearing shall be open to the public. Other employees under the
supervision of the board and employees appointed hereafter shall be subject to applicable civil
service laws and rules of the city unless the board determines that they should be unclassified.
The compensation of the executive director and the other employees under the supervision of the
board shall be fixed by the board.
    Subd. 3. Officers. At the regular meeting in January each year, the board shall elect from
among its members a president, a vice-president, and a secretary-treasurer, who shall hold office
for one year or until successors have been elected and qualified. The president, if present, shall
preside at all meetings. In the absence of the president the vice-president shall preside and have
all the powers of the president while acting as such. The recording secretary shall keep a record of
all proceedings of the board, which shall be open to public inspection. At least one of the officers
of the board shall be one of the representatives elected by the employees of the city to the board.
    Subd. 4. Rules. Subject to the limitations of law, the board shall from time to time establish
rules and regulations for the administration of the fund or funds created by this chapter and for the
transaction of its business. Roberts rules of order shall be the rules of order of the board except
as otherwise specifically adopted.
    Subd. 5. Powers of executive director. For the purpose of administration, except as
otherwise herein provided, the executive director, under the direction of the board, shall perform
