The Board shall provide for the appointment of such other officers, attorneys, engineers, consultants, agents and employees as may be necessary. It shall define their duties and require bonds of such of them as the Board may designate.
(c) The chief executive officer and other officers appointed by the Board pursuant to this Section shall be exempt from taking and subscribing any oath of office and shall not be members of the Board. The compensation of the chief executive officer and all other officers, attorneys, consultants, agents and employees shall be fixed by the Board.
(d) The Board shall adopt a personnel code governing the Authority's employment, evaluation, promotion and discharge of employees.
