IC 36-9-13-18 — Removal of trustees and directors
Chapter 13. County Building Authority
Bills amending this section
Section text
Sec. 18. (a) This subsection only applies to an individual who is appointed a trustee by a county executive of a county that does not contain a consolidated city. A trustee serves at the pleasure of the county executive as long as the county executive retains all of the same members who served on the body when the individual was appointed. If any of the members on the county executive changes, the trustee may only be removed under subsection (b). (b) A person seeking the removal of a trustee for: (1) neglect of duty; (2) incompetence; (3) inability to perform the trustee's duties; or (4) any other good cause; may file a complaint in the circuit or superior court for the county in which the building authority is located. The complaint must set forth the charges preferred. The action shall be placed on the court's advanced calendar, and the court shall try the action in the same manner as other civil cases, without a jury. If the charges are sustained, the court shall declare the trustee's office vacant. (c) The trustees may summarily remove a director from office at any time.
As added by Acts 1981, P.L.309, SEC.86. Amended by P.L.127-2017, SEC.309; P.L.40-2026, SEC.21.
