In memory of Jerry W. Krupinski.

WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 135th General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to offer our deepest sympathy to the family and many friends of Jerry W. Krupinski on the sorrowful occasion of his death; and

WHEREAS, Jerry Krupinski will be remembered fondly by all those who knew him, and his absence will leave an irreparable void in our society. A former coal miner for the Y&O Coal Company who went on to spend time in the insurance industry, he excelled as a public official, serving as a commissioner for Jefferson County for six years and as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives for fourteen years, representing the 98th District, and his tremendous experience and devotion to duty gained him the appreciation of his colleagues and constituents alike; and

WHEREAS, Jerry Krupinski’s passion for community service was always evident in his own approach to life. He was active with the Knights of Columbus, the Jefferson County Democratic Executive Committee, and Holy Family Catholic Church. He was admired by his fellow citizens, friends, and family for his positive philosophy of life, and he inspired countless Ohioans to dedicate themselves to public service; and

WHEREAS, In numerous roles, Jerry Krupinski led an exemplary life, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to improving the quality of our society, and he extended warmth and understanding to others, including his wife, Eileen, who also served as a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, his children, Scott, Todd, and Erin, and his many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Most assuredly, the State of Ohio has benefited exponentially from his work, and he will be remembered for his visionary example of citizenship; therefore be it

RESOLVED, That we, the members of the House of Representatives of the 135th General Assembly of Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, pay tribute to the memory of a truly honorable man, Jerry W. Krupinski; and be it further

RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives transmit a duly authenticated copy of this Resolution to family of Jerry W. Krupinski.

The resolution was adopted.

Except as otherwise provided in this division, any vacancy on the board shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

(E) The voting members of the board shall elect from the entire board membership a chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary-treasurer. A majority of the voting members of the board constitutes a quorum, the affirmative vote of which is necessary for any action of the district. No vacancy in the membership of the board impairs the right of a quorum to exercise all the rights and perform all duties of the district.

(F)(1) The board of county commissioners of any county, the legislative authority of any municipal corporation, and the board of township trustees of any township may make appropriations from money available to them and not otherwise appropriated to pay costs incurred by the district in the exercise of its functions under this chapter, provided that money is available to use for that purpose.

(11) Acquire, hold, and dispose of property in the exercise of its powers and the performance of its duties under this chapter;

(12) Subject to section 6120.15 of the Revised Code, enter into an agreement with a contiguous board of county commissioners other than the board of county commissioners that created the water improvement district, for the district to exercise all or any portion of its powers with respect to a project that is located wholly or partially within the county that is party to the agreement;

(13) Cooperate with any governmental agencies in the planning, design, acquisition, construction, maintenance, funding, and financing of projects;

Sec. 6120.031. (A) As used in this section, "public improvement" means the construction, reconstruction, or repair of any waste water or water management facility.

(B) The board of trustees of a water improvement district may provide for a public improvement and levy special assessments, if the board determines that the public improvement will benefit the area where it will be constructed, reconstructed, or repaired. However, if the improvement is proposed for territory in a political subdivision located outside the district's territory, the legislative authority of that political subdivision shall approve the undertaking of the improvement within the political subdivision.

(C) If any improvements are made under this section, contracts for the improvement may provide that the improvement may be owned by the district or by the person or corporation supplying it to the district under a lease.

(D) If the board of trustees of a district proposes an improvement described in division (B) of this section, the board shall conduct a hearing on the proposed improvement. The board shall indicate by metes and bounds the area in which the public improvement will be made and the area that will benefit from the improvement.

(E) The board of trustees shall fix a day for a hearing on the proposed improvement. The secretary-treasurer of the board shall deliver, to each owner of a parcel of land or a lot that the board identifies as benefiting from the proposed improvement, a notice that sets forth the substance of the proposed improvement and the time and place of the hearing on it. At least fifteen days before the date set for the hearing, a copy of the notice shall be served upon the owner or left at the owner's usual place of residence, or, if the owner is a corporation, upon an officer or agent of the corporation. On or before the day of the hearing, the person serving notice of the hearing shall make return thereon, under oath, of the time and manner of service, and shall file the notice with the secretary-treasurer of the board.

At least fifteen days before the day set for the hearing on the proposed improvement, the secretary-treasurer shall give notice to each nonresident owner of a lot or parcel of land in the area to be benefited by the improvement, by publication once in a newspaper of general circulation in the one or more counties in which this area is located. The publication of the notice shall be verified by affidavit of the printer or other person having knowledge of the publication and shall be filed with the secretary-treasurer of the district on or before the date of the hearing.

(F) At the time and place specified in the notice for a hearing on the proposed improvement, the board of trustees of the district shall meet and hear any and all testimony provided by any of the parties affected by the proposed improvement and by any other persons competent to testify. The board or its representatives shall inspect, by an actual viewing, the area to be benefited by the proposed improvement. The board shall determine the necessity of the proposed improvement and may find that the proposed improvement will result in general as well as special benefits. The board may adjourn from time to time and to such places as it considers necessary.

(G)(1) The board may award contracts or enter into a lease agreement for the construction, reconstruction, or repair of any improvement described in division (B) of this section and may issue notes, bonds, revenue anticipatory instruments, or other obligations, as authorized by this chapter, to finance the improvements.

(2) All or a part of the costs and expenses of providing for the construction, reconstruction, or repair of any improvement described in division (G)(1) of this section may be paid from a fund into which may be paid special assessments levied under this section against the lots and parcels of land in the area to be benefited by the improvement, if the board finds that the improvement will result in general or special benefits to the benefited area. These special assessments shall be levied not more than one time on the same lot or parcel of land. Such costs and expenses may also be paid from the treasury of the district or from other available sources in amounts the board finds appropriate.

(3) The board shall levy special assessments at an amount not to exceed ten per cent of the assessable value of the lot or parcel of land being assessed. The board shall determine the assessable value of a lot or parcel of land in the following manner: the board shall first determine the fair market value of the lot or parcel being assessed in the calendar year in which the area to be benefited by the public improvement is first designated and then multiply this amount by the average rate of appreciation in value of the lot or parcel since that calendar year. The assessable value of the lot or parcel is the current fair market value of the lot or parcel minus the amount calculated in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence. The board may adjust the assessable value of a lot or parcel of land to reflect a sale of the lot or parcel that indicates an appreciation in its value that exceeds its average rate of appreciation in value.

(4) Special assessments levied by the board may be paid in full in a lump sum or may be paid and collected in equal semiannual installments, equal in number to twice the number of years for which the lease of the improvement is made or twice the number of years that the note, bond, instrument, or obligation that the assessments are pledged to pay requires. The assessments shall be paid and collected in the same manner and at the same time as real property taxes are paid and collected, and assessments in the amount of fifty dollars or less shall be paid in full, and not in installments, at the time the first or next installment would otherwise become due and payable. Complaints regarding assessments may be made to the county board of revision in the same manner as complaints relating to the valuation and assessment of real property.

Credits against assessments shall be granted equal to the value of any construction, reconstruction, or repair that an owner of a parcel of land or lot makes to an improvement pursuant to an agreement between the owner and the district.

(5) After the levy of a special assessment, the board, at any time during any year in which an installment of the assessment becomes due, may pay out of other available funds of the district, including any state or federal funds available to the district, the full amount of the price of the contract that the special assessments are pledged to pay for that year or any other portion of the remaining obligation. The board shall be the sole determiner of the definition, extent, and allocation of the benefit resulting from an improvement that the board authorizes under this section.

(H)(1) The board shall certify to the appropriate county auditor the boundaries of the area that is benefited by any public improvement the board authorizes under this section and, when the board so requests, the auditor shall apportion the valuation of any lot or parcel of land lying partly within and partly outside the area so benefited.

(2) The board by resolution shall assess against the lots and parcels of land located in the area that is benefited by a public improvement such portion of the costs of completing the public improvement as the board determines, for the period that may be necessary to pay the note, bond, instrument, or obligation issued to pay for the improvement and the proceedings in relation to it, and shall certify these costs to the appropriate county auditor.

(3) Except for assessments that have been paid in full in a lump sum, the county auditor shall annually place upon the tax duplicate, for collection in semiannual installments, the two installments of the assessment for that year, which shall be paid and collected at the same time and in the same manner as real property taxes. The collected assessments shall be paid to the treasury of the district and the board of the district shall use the assessments for any purpose authorized by this chapter.

Sec. 6120.032. Any water project shall be determined by the board of trustees of the water improvement district to be consistent with any applicable comprehensive plan of water management approved by the director of natural resources or in the process of preparation by the director and to be not inconsistent with the standards set for the waters of the state affected thereby by the environmental protection agency. Any resolution of the board of trustees of the district providing for constructing, reconstructing, or repairing such projects shall include a finding by the board of trustees of the district that those determinations have been made.

Sec. 6120.04. (A) A water improvement district may acquire by purchase, lease, lease-purchase, lease with option to purchase, appropriation, or otherwise and in such manner and for such consideration as it considers proper, any public or private property necessary, convenient, or proper for the construction, reconstruction, or repair of a project. The district may pledge net revenues, to the extent permitted by this chapter with respect to bonds, to secure payments to be paid by the district under such a lease, lease-purchase agreement, or lease with option to purchase. Title to real and personal property shall be held in the name of the district. In any proceedings for appropriation under this section, the procedure to be followed shall be in accordance with that provided in sections 163.01 to 163.22 of the Revised Code. Except as otherwise agreed to by the owner, full compensation shall be paid for public property so taken.

(B) This section does not authorize a district to take or disturb property or facilities belonging to any public utility or to a common carrier engaged in interstate commerce, which property or facilities are required for the proper and convenient operation of the public utility or common carrier, unless provision is made for the restoration, relocation, replication, or duplication of the property or facilities elsewhere at the sole cost of the district.

(C) Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, disposition of real property shall be by sale, lease-purchase agreement, lease with option to purchase, or otherwise in such manner and for such consideration as determined by the district if to a governmental agency. Disposition of personal property shall be in such manner and for such consideration as determined by the district.

Sec. 6120.05. The board of trustees of a water improvement district may acquire real property in fee simple in the name of the district in connection with, but in excess of that needed for, a project by any method other than appropriation and hold the property for such period of time determined by the board. All right, title, and interest of the district in the property may be sold at public auction or otherwise, as the board considers in the best interests of the district; but in no event shall the property be sold for less than two-thirds of its appraised value. Sale at public auction shall be undertaken only after the board advertises the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the district for two weeks or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code, prior to the date set for the sale.

Sec. 6120.06. (A) The board of trustees of a water improvement district may provide by resolution for the issuance, at one time or from time to time, of bonds of the district for the purpose of paying all or any part of the cost of any one or more projects. The bond service charges shall be payable solely from pledged revenues pledged for such payment pursuant to the applicable bond proceedings. The bonds of each issue shall be dated, shall bear interest at a rate or rates or at variable rates, and shall mature or be payable at such time or times, with a final maturity not to exceed thirty years from their date or dates, all as determined by the board in the bond proceedings. The board shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of bond service charges.

(B) The bonds shall be signed by the chairperson or vice-chairperson of the board or by the facsimile signature of that officer, the official seal of the district or a facsimile thereof may be affixed thereto or printed thereon and attested by the secretary-treasurer of the district, which may be by facsimile signature, and any coupons attached thereto shall bear the facsimile signature of the chairperson or vice-chairperson of the board. In case any officer whose signature, or a facsimile of whose signature, appears on any bonds or coupons ceases to be such officer before delivery of the bonds, such signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if the officer had remained in office until such delivery.

(C) Subject to the bond proceedings and provisions for registration, the bonds shall have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments under Title XIII of the Revised Code. The bonds may be issued in such form or forms as the board determines, including without limitation coupon, book entry, and fully registered form, and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bonds as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest, and for the exchange of bonds between forms. The board may sell such bonds by competitive bid on the best bid after advertisement or request for bids or by private sale in the manner, and for the price, it determines to be for the best interest of the district.

(D) The proceeds of the bonds of each issue shall be used solely for the payment of the costs of the project or projects for which the bonds were issued, and shall be disbursed in such manner and under such restrictions as the board provides in the bond proceedings.

(E) Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the board may, under like restrictions, issue interim receipts or temporary bonds or bond anticipation notes, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds when such bonds have been executed and are available for delivery. The board may provide for the replacement of any mutilated, stolen, destroyed, or lost bonds.

(F) Sections 9.98 to 9.983 of the Revised Code apply to the bonds.

(G) The bond proceedings shall provide, subject to the provisions of any other applicable bond proceedings, for the pledge to the payment of bond service charges and of any costs of or relating to credit enhancement facilities of all, or such part as the board may determine, of the pledged revenues and the applicable special fund or funds, which pledges may be made to secure the bonds on a parity with bonds theretofore or thereafter issued if and to the extent provided in the bond proceedings. Every pledge, and every covenant and agreement with respect thereto, made in the bond proceedings may in the bond proceedings be extended to the benefit of the owners and holders of bonds and to any trustee and any person providing a credit enhancement facility for those bonds, for the further security for the payment of the bond service charges and credit enhancement facility costs.

(H) The bond proceedings may contain additional provisions as to:

(1) The redemption of bonds prior to maturity at the option of the board or of the bondholders or upon the occurrence of certain stated conditions, and at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as are provided in the bond proceedings;

(2) Other terms of the bonds;

(3) Limitations on the issuance of additional bonds;

(4) The terms of any trust agreement securing the bonds or under which the same may be issued;

(5) Any or every provision of the bond proceedings being binding upon the board and state agencies, or other person as may from time to time have the authority under law to take such actions as may be necessary to perform all or any part of the duty required by such provision;

(6) Any provision that may be made in a trust agreement;

(7) Any other or additional agreements with the holders of the bonds, or the trustee therefor, relating to the bonds or the security for the bonds, including agreements for credit enhancement facilities.

(I) Any holder of bonds or a trustee under the bond proceedings, except to the extent that the holder's or trustee's rights are restricted by the bond proceedings, may by any suitable form of legal proceedings, protect and enforce any rights under the laws of this state or granted by the bond proceedings. Those rights include the right to compel the performance of all duties of the board required by this chapter or the bond proceedings; to enjoin unlawful activities; and in the event of default with respect to the payment of any bond service charges on any bonds or in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of the board contained in the bond proceedings, to apply to a court having jurisdiction of the cause to appoint a receiver to receive and administer the revenues and the pledged revenues which are pledged to the payment of the bond service charges on such bonds or that are the subject of the covenant or agreement, with full power to pay, and to provide for payment of, bond service charges on such bonds, and with such powers, subject to the direction of the court, as are accorded receivers in general equity cases, excluding any power to pledge additional revenue or receipts or other income, funds, or money of the board to the payment of such bond service charges and excluding the power to take possession of, mortgage, or cause the sale or otherwise dispose of any project or other property of the board.

(J) Each duty of the board and the board's officers and employees, undertaken pursuant to the bond proceedings, is hereby established as a duty of the board, and of each such officer, member, or employee having authority to perform the duty, specifically enjoined by law resulting from an office, trust, or station within the meaning of section 2731.01 of the Revised Code.

(K) The board's officers or employees are not liable in their personal capacities on any bonds issued by the board or any agreements of or with the board relating to those bonds.

(L) The bonds are lawful investments for banks, savings and loan associations, credit union share guaranty corporations, trust companies, trustees, fiduciaries, insurance companies, including domestic for life and domestic not for life, trustees or other officers having charge of sinking and bond retirement or other funds of the state or its political subdivisions and taxing districts, the commissioners of the sinking fund of the state, the administrator of workers' compensation, the state teachers retirement system, the public employees retirement system, the school employees retirement system, and the Ohio police and fire pension fund, notwithstanding any other provisions of the Revised Code or rules adopted pursuant thereto by any state agency with respect to investments by them, and also are acceptable as security for the repayment of the deposit of public money.

(M) Provision may be made in the applicable bond proceedings for the establishment of separate accounts in the bond service fund and for the application of such accounts only to the specified bond service charges pertinent to such accounts and bond service fund, and for other accounts therein within the general purposes of such fund.

(N) The board may pledge all, or such portion as it determines, of the pledged revenues to the payment of bond service charges, and for the establishment and maintenance of any reserves and special funds, as provided in the bond proceedings, and make other provisions therein with respect to pledged revenues, revenues, and net revenues as authorized by this chapter, which provisions shall be controlling notwithstanding any other provisions of law pertaining thereto.

Sec. 6120.07. The board of trustees of a water improvement district may provide by resolution for the issuance of bonds of the district, payable solely from pledged revenues, for the purpose of refunding any bonds then outstanding, including the payment of related financing expenses and, if considered advisable by the board, for the additional purpose of paying costs of improvements, extensions, renovations, or enlargements of any project. The issuance of refunding bonds, the maturities and other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and the rights, duties, and obligations of the board in respect to such bonds shall be governed by the provisions of this chapter insofar as they are applicable and by the applicable bond proceedings.

Sec. 6120.08. This chapter provides an additional and alternative method for financing, constructing, reconstructing, or repairing projects and taking the actions authorized by this chapter. This chapter shall be regarded as supplemental and additional to powers conferred by other laws. The issuance of bonds under this chapter need not comply with any other law applicable to the issuance of bonds.

Sec. 6120.09. (A) The bonds do not constitute a debt, or a pledge of the faith and credit, of the state or of any political subdivision of the state. Bond service charges on outstanding bonds are payable solely from the pledged revenues pledged for their payment as authorized by this chapter and as provided in the bond proceedings. All bonds shall contain on their face a statement to that effect.

(B) All expenses incurred in carrying out this chapter shall be payable solely from revenues provided under this chapter. This chapter does not authorize the board of trustees of a district to incur indebtedness or liability on behalf of or payable by the state or any political subdivision of the state.

Sec. 6120.10. (A) In the discretion of the board of trustees of a water improvement district any bonds may be secured by a trust agreement between the board and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within or without the state but authorized to exercise trust powers within this state.

(B) Any trust agreement may pledge or assign the revenues to be received, but shall not convey or mortgage any project or any part thereof. Any such trust agreement or other bond proceedings may contain such provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as are reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including covenants setting forth the duties of the board in relation to the acquisition of property, and the construction, reconstruction, and repair of the project or projects in connection with which such bonds are authorized and the custody, safeguarding, and application of all money, and provisions for the employment or retention of the services of consulting engineers in connection with the construction, reconstruction, or repair of the project or projects. Any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of this state which may act as depository of the proceeds of bonds or of revenues may furnish such indemnifying bonds or may pledge such securities as are required by the board. Any such trust agreement may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders as is customary in revenue bond trust agreements of public bodies, and may contain such other provisions as the board considers reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in entering into or carrying out the provisions of any such trust agreement may be treated as a part of the cost of the project or projects. Chapter 135. of the Revised Code does not apply to investments made pursuant to any such trust agreement.

Sec. 6120.11. Revenues derived from each project of a water improvement district in connection with which any bonds are outstanding shall be first applied to pay the cost of the construction, reconstruction, and repair of the project and to provide such reserves therefor as are provided for in the bond proceedings authorizing the issuance of those outstanding bonds, and otherwise as provided by the board of trustees of the district, and the balance of the pledged revenues shall be set aside, at such regular intervals as are provided in the bond proceedings in a bond service fund which is hereby pledged to and charged with the payment of the bond service charges on any such outstanding bonds as provided in the applicable bond proceedings. Such pledge shall be valid and binding from the time the pledge is made; the revenues and the pledged revenues thereafter received by the board shall immediately be subject to the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act, and the lien of such pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract, or otherwise against the board, whether or not such parties have notice thereof. The bond proceedings by which a pledge is created need not be filed or recorded except in the records of the board. The use and disposition of money to the credit of a bond service fund shall be subject to the applicable bond proceedings. Except as is otherwise provided in such bond proceedings, such a bond service fund shall be a fund for all such bonds, without distinction or priority of one over another.

Sec. 6120.12. All money received by the board of trustees of a water improvement district under this chapter, whether as proceeds from the sale of bonds, as revenues, or otherwise, are to be held and applied solely as provided in this chapter and in any applicable bond proceedings. Such money shall be kept in depositories as selected by the board in the manner provided in sections 135.01 to 135.21 of the Revised Code, insofar as such sections are applicable, and the deposits shall be secured as provided in sections 135.01 to 135.21 of the Revised Code. The bond proceedings shall provide that any officer to whom, or any bank or trust company to which, revenues or pledged revenues are paid shall act as trustee of such money and hold and apply it for the purposes thereof, subject to applicable provisions of this chapter and the bond proceedings.

Sec. 6120.13. Any holder of bonds issued and outstanding under this chapter, or any of the coupons appertaining thereto, and the trustee under any trust agreement, except to the extent the rights given by this chapter may be restricted or modified by the bond proceedings, may by suit, action, mandamus, or other proceedings, protect and enforce any rights under the laws of the state or granted under this chapter or the bond proceedings, and may enforce and compel the performance of all duties required by this chapter or the bond proceedings, to be performed by the board of trustees of a water improvement district or any officer of the board.

Sec. 6120.14. The exercise of the powers granted by this chapter is in all respects for the benefit of the people of the state, for the increase of their commerce and prosperity, and for the improvement of their health and living conditions, and as the construction, reconstruction, and repair of projects by a water improvement district constitute the performance of essential governmental functions, the district shall not be required to pay any state or local taxes or assessments upon any project, or upon revenues or any property acquired or used by the district under this chapter, or upon the income therefrom. The bonds issued under this chapter, their transfer, and the income therefrom, including any profit made on the sale thereof, shall at all times be free from taxation within the state.

Sec. 6120.15. A board of county commissioners may enter into an agreement with a contiguous water improvement district that the board of county commissioners did not create for the district to undertake a project that is located wholly or partially within that county provided that the board of county commissioners of the county that created the water improvement district also must enter into the agreement.

No water improvement district shall undertake a project that is located wholly or partially within a county that did not create the water improvement district except pursuant to an agreement entered into in accordance with this section, a project being undertaken by two or more water improvement districts, or as otherwise provided by law.

Sec. 6120.16. (A) Not later than thirty days after the appointment of a water improvement district board under section 6120.02 of the Revised Code, a water improvement district appeals board shall be created by the board of county commissioners. The appeals board has exclusive original jurisdiction over any action regarding a waste water facility or water management facility located in the county in which the appeals board is located, including an action regarding any water project facilitated, coordinated, funded, financed, constructed, reconstructed, or repaired under this chapter in that county.

(B) A water improvement district appeals board shall consist of eleven voting members and one nonvoting member as follows:

(1) The five members of the board of trustees of the water improvement district;

(2) Two members appointed by the legislative authority of the most populous municipal corporation in the district;

(3) One member appointed by the legislative authority of the second most populous municipal corporation in the district;

(4) One member appointed by the township trustee association within the district. Absent such an association, one member shall be appointed by the board of township trustees of the most populous township in the county's unincorporated area.

(5) One member appointed by the county engineer who represents regional water and sewer districts. If there is no regional water and sewer district in the county, one member shall be appointed by the county engineer who has expertise on matters related to water and wastewater management.

(6) One member appointed by the board of county commissioners who is an expert on matters related to water and wastewater management;

(7) One member appointed by the regional planning commission for the county, who shall be a nonvoting member of the board.

(C) Each appointed member of the appeals board shall hold office for a term of two years, subject to removal by the appointing authority only for malfeasance. Members may be reappointed. Except as otherwise provided in this division, any vacancy on the appeals board shall be filled in the same manner as the original appointment.

(D) The voting members of the appeals board shall elect from the entire board membership a chairperson, vice-chairperson, and secretary-treasurer. A majority of the voting members of the appeals board constitutes a quorum, the affirmative vote of which is necessary for any decision. No vacancy in the membership of the appeals board impairs the right of a quorum to exercise all the rights and perform all its duties.

(E) Each member of the board shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for all actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official duties.

Sec. 6120.17. (A) The water improvement district appeals board shall adopt or amend, as appropriate, regulations governing procedure to be followed for hearings before it, including regulations governing all of the following:

(1) Procedures for conducting hearings on appeals that are not in conflict with section 6120.18 of the Revised Code;

(2) Procedures for issuing final decisions that are not in conflict with section 6120.18 of the Revised Code;

(3) Stays. The regulations shall specify that if an appeal of an action made by a water improvement district board is filed, such action shall not go into effect until the water improvement district appeals board issues its final decision on the matter.
