§ 11-66-6. These directors shall meet immediately after their appointment and organize by the election of one of their members as president and one as secretary. The president and secretary shall have the duties usually performed by such officers of similar boards. After the organization the board of directors shall make and adopt such by-laws, rules, and regulations for their own guidance, for the transaction of the business of the board, and for the management of the municipal coliseum as they may deem expedient. These by-laws, rules and regulations shall not be inconsistent with this Division 66. Subject to the approval of the corporate authorities, the board of directors may build, erect, construct, and equip a municipal coliseum for the uses designated in this Division 66, and may purchase or lease such real estate, and perform all such acts as may be reasonably necessary to accomplish that purpose. The board shall have exclusive care, custody, and management of the municipal coliseum after it is constructed, and the exclusive control of the expenditure of all money collected to the credit of the municipal coliseum fund. No money shall be drawn by the board from the municipal treasurer, except upon order of the board and upon checks or vouchers drawn upon the municipal treasurer, and signed by the president and secretary of the board.
