trustees authorized to carry out the provisions of
this |
Article. Each trustee shall be a participating employee of a
|

such trustee shall |
be designated as an executive trustee.
|
2. 3 trustees shall be employees of a participating |

3. One trustee shall be an annuitant of the Fund, who |
shall be
designated the annuitant trustee.
|
(c) A person elected as a trustee shall qualify as a |

resignation, death, incapacity or
disqualification.
|
(e) Any elected trustee (other than the annuitant trustee) |
shall be
disqualified immediately upon termination of |

|
removes any such trustee from all employments within the group |
he represents.
The annuitant trustee shall be disqualified |
upon termination of his or her
annuity.
|
(f) The trustees shall fill any vacancy in the board by |
appointment,
for the period until the next election of |
trustees, or, if the remaining
term is less than 2 years, for |
the remainder of the term, and until his
successor has been |
elected and qualified.
|
|
(g) Trustees shall serve without compensation, but shall |
be
reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in |
attending meetings of
the board and in performing duties on |
behalf of the Fund and for the
amount of any earnings withheld |
by any employing municipality or
participating instrumentality |
because of attendance at any board
meeting.
|
