same month of the year as did the term that it succeeds.  One member shall be an employee of the division of boiler inspection in the department

of commerce;  one member shall be an independent mechanical engineer who is not involved

in selling or inspecting historical boilers;  and one shall be an active member of

an association that represents managers of fairs or festivals. The remaining four members shall each own a historical boiler and also have at least

ten years of experience in the operation of historical boilers, and each of these

four members shall reside in a different region of the state. Each member shall hold office from the date of the member's appointment until the

end of the term for which the member was appointed.  Members may be reappointed.  Vacancies shall be filled by the director of commerce, and shall not require the

advice and consent of the senate.  Any member appointed to fill a vacancy occurring prior to the expiration date of

the term for which the member's predecessor was appointed shall hold office as a member

for the remainder of that term.  A member shall continue in office subsequent to the expiration date of the member's

term until the successor takes office or until a period of sixty days has elapsed,

whichever occurs first. The members of the board, annually, shall elect, by majority vote, a chairperson from

among their members.  The board shall meet at least once annually and at other times at the call of the

chairperson.  Board members shall receive their actual and necessary expenses incurred in the

discharge of their duties as board members.  The superintendent of industrial compliance shall call the first meeting of the

board, and the superintendent, or the superintendent's designee, shall act as an ex

officio chairperson at the first meeting for the sole purpose of electing a chairperson. The superintendent of industrial compliance shall furnish office space, staff, and

supplies to the board as the superintendent determines are necessary for the board

to carry out its official duties under sections 4104.33 to 4104.37 of the Revised Code .
