Board of judges

§ 2407. Board of judges. 1. The judges of said court shall constitute the board of judges of the county. The judge elected from the first district shall be the president. The meetings of the board shall be public, except when such board shall be in executive session, and so far as is practicable shall be held at regular intervals, and all its proceedings shall be recorded by its secretary and shall be preserved. A majority of the members of the board shall constitute a quorum. The board may by resolution provide for the conduct of its meetings, the keeping and preservation of its minutes and the public inspection thereof at reasonable times; for the order of judicial business, the manner of its discharge and the maintenance of order in and about the courts; for the establishment of parts of the court and for the assignment of judges to hold the several parts so established.

2. The board of judges shall designate the number and general location of the places, one or more for each judge, in which court shall be held in each district. The president of the board of judges shall preside and shall be entitled to vote at all meetings of the board. In addition to all the powers of a member of the board he shall exercise general supervision of the business of the court and have such other powers as may be conferred by resolution of the board. He shall whenever he deems it necessary for the prompt disposition of business, assign any judge temporarily to hold court in any district in the county, other than that in which he had been assigned by the board, and he may transfer cases for trial or for all purposes from one district to another. The acts or directions of the president of the board of judges may be vacated, amended or modified by a two-thirds vote of the members at a regular or special meeting of the board.

3. The board of judges shall designate a clerk of the court to act as secretary of the board and from time to time substitute another. Such secretary shall serve without additional compensation. All necessary disbursements of the board of judges and the secretary thereof shall be a charge against the first judicial district and paid as other district charges.
