Each member shall hold office from the date of appointment until the end of the term for which the member was appointed.

A vacancy in the office of a member of the board shall be filled pursuant to section 3.03 of the Revised Code. Any member appointed to fill a vacancy prior to the expiration of the term for which the member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office for the remainder of such term. Any member shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of the member's term until a successor takes office, or until a period of sixty days has elapsed, whichever occurs first.

Each member of the board, before entering upon the duties of office, shall take and subscribe an oath of office and give bond as provided in section 121.11 of the Revised Code.
