§ 23-30.25. Creation and organization of Authority; surety bonds
The Virginia College Building Authority is hereby created as a public body corporate and as a political subdivision and an agency and instrumentality of the Commonwealth of Virginia, and as such, shall have and is hereby vested with the powers, rights and duties hereinafter conferred in this chapter.
The Virginia College Building Authority shall consist of the State Treasurer, the State Comptroller, the Director of Planning and Budget, the Director of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, and seven additional members appointed by the Governor, subject to confirmation by the General Assembly, if in session when such appointments are made, and if not in session, at its first session subsequent to such appointment, who shall serve at the pleasure of the Governor. The initial members shall be the members of the Authority heretofore appointed under the Virginia College Building Authority Act of 1964 for the terms appointed pursuant to that act and until their successors shall be appointed and qualified. The successors of each of the appointed members shall be appointed for a term of four years, except that appointments to fill vacancies shall be made for the unexpired terms. Such members shall serve no more than two consecutive terms. The secretary and the assistant secretary may receive such compensation as the Authority may provide.
The Governor shall appoint one member as chairman, who shall be the chief executive officer of the Authority and who shall receive such compensation as the Governor shall fix. Neither the State Treasurer, the State Comptroller, the Director of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia nor the Director of Planning and Budget shall be eligible to serve as chairman. Six members of the Authority shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of all business of the Authority. The Authority shall elect one member from the group of seven members appointed by the Governor as vice-chairman, who shall exercise the powers of the chairman in the absence of the chairman. The Authority shall elect a treasurer, a secretary, and an assistant secretary, each of whom may perform the duties and functions commonly performed by such officers. All such officers, except the secretary and the assistant secretary, shall be selected from members of the Authority. Each member of the Authority hereafter appointed and the secretary and the assistant secretary of the Authority shall execute a surety bond in such penal sum as shall be determined by the Attorney General, each such surety bond to be conditioned upon the faithful performance of the duties of his office, to be executed by a surety company authorized to transact business in the Commonwealth of Virginia as surety and to be approved by the Attorney General and filed in the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
