§ 738.02.
On the second Monday of the month following the determination of the board or officer
having control of the health department of the municipal corporation to create a sanitary
police pension fund, an election shall be held to choose five trustees from the sanitary
police force. Such board or officer shall give notice thereof by posting it in a conspicuous place
at the headquarters of such force. Between the hours of nine a.m. and six p.m. of the day designated, each person in
the sanitary police force who, by its rules, is designated a member thereof, shall
send by mail or otherwise, in writing, the names of five members of the force who
are his choice for trustees. All votes so cast shall be counted and canvassed by such board or officer, who shall
announce the result, and the five members receiving the highest number of votes shall
be members of the board of trustees of the sanitary police pension fund for the ensuing
year. If any two persons receive a tie vote for such office, it shall be decided by lot
or in any other way agreed upon by the persons for whom such tie vote was cast. The members so elected shall serve for one year. Elections for successors shall be held each year upon the second Monday of the same
month in which the first election is held. In case of vacancy by death, resignation, or otherwise among such members, the remaining
members of the board of trustees shall choose a successor who shall serve until the
next election. Such board shall administer and distribute the sanitary police pension fund.
