A. The commissioners of each waterworks district may meet as often as necessary, but shall meet at least once every three months. The board of waterworks commissioners by resolution shall designate a regular meeting place for the holding of its meetings, which shall be held at a place located within the waterworks district or at the parish seat of the parish in which the district is located, even though the parish seat is not within the boundaries of the waterworks district. The absence of a commissioner from any four consecutive meetings shall be deemed to create a vacancy and it shall be filled by the police jury, if the commissioner had been appointed by the police jury, or by appointment of the governing authority of a municipality included in the district, if the commissioner had been appointed by the municipal governing authority. The parish governing authority in the parish in which each waterworks district is located may fix and pay a per diem to members of the board of commissioners of the respective waterworks districts in an amount not less than sixty dollars and not more than per diem paid to members of the Louisiana Legislature for each meeting they attend, up to and including twenty-four meetings in each year and for each special meeting not to exceed twelve special meetings in each year. Per diem provided by this Section shall be paid out of the district funds in the hands of the treasurer; however, no elected official serving as a member of the board of commissioners shall receive any per diem for attending meetings of the board.
