§ 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.
