Section 1. Section 45-28-121 of the Code of Alabama 1975, is amended to read as follows:

Ҥ45-28-121.

“(a) In Etowah County, there is hereby created and established a personnel department for the government and control of all employees and appointees holding positions in the classified service, as defined in Section 45-28-121.03.

“(b) The personnel department shall consist of a personnel board and a personnel director. The personnel board shall consist of five members. Three members shall be appointed for a term of six years each as follows: One to be appointed by a joint appointee of the probate judge and the sheriff of the county; one to be appointed by the county commission; and one to be appointed as a joint appointee of the county tax assessor and the county tax collector; however, the terms for the above three named initial appointees shall be staggered. For the first appointments the joint appointee of the probate judge and the sheriff of the county shall be for two years; the first appointee by the county commission shall be for a term of four years; and the first joint appointee by the county tax assessor and county tax collector shall be for six years. The other two members of the board shall be appointed for one year terms. One of the additional members shall be appointed annually by the President of the Etowah County Chamber of Commerce; and one member shall be appointed annually by the President of the Etowah County Labor Council.

For regular meetings of the board or special hearings or meetings of the board relating to a pending disciplinary action, each member shall receive sixty dollars ($60) per diem, not to exceed one hundred eighty dollars ($180) per month paid from the county treasury, and the chair shall receive seventy-five dollars ($75) per diem, not to exceed two hundred twenty-five dollars ($225) per month paid from the county treasury.
