§ 5901.021.
(A) This section applies only to counties having a population, according to the most
recent decennial census, of more than five hundred thousand. (B)(1) In any county that is described in division (A) of this section and in which the
veterans service commission submits a budget request under section 5901.11 of the Revised Code for the ensuing fiscal year that exceeds twenty-five-thousandths of one per cent
of the assessed value of property in the county or the amount appropriated to the
commission from the county general fund in the current fiscal year by more than ten
per cent of that appropriation, the board of county commissioners, by resolution,
may create not more than six memberships on the veterans service commission in addition
to the memberships provided for by section 5901.02 of the Revised Code . The board shall prescribe the number of years the additional memberships shall exist,
which shall not exceed five years. Once a board of county commissioners creates any additional memberships, it may
not create further additional memberships under this section if the total number of
such memberships would exceed six. The board shall appoint persons who are residents of the county and who are honorably
discharged or honorably separated veterans to each of the additional memberships,
for terms prescribed by the board and commencing on a date fixed by the board. Each person appointed to an additional membership shall file, within sixty days
after the date of the appointment, the person's form DD214 with the department of
veterans services in accordance with guidelines established by the director of that
department. (2) If the board of county commissioners appoints additional members as described in
division (B)(1) of this section, the board may permit the commission to submit an
original or revised budget request for the ensuing fiscal year later than the last
Monday in May, as otherwise required under section 5901.11 of the Revised Code . (C) The board of county commissioners may remove, for cause, any member appointed under
this section. The board shall determine whether the additional members may be reappointed upon
the expiration of their terms, and shall fill any vacancy in an additional membership
for the unexpired term in the manner provided for the original appointment.
