(1) At least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the term of office of an appointed member of a district's governing body, the district shall notify the appointing authority of the forthcoming expiration of the term of the appointed member of the district's governing body.
(2) Unless otherwise provided by law, appointed members of district governing bodies shall serve until their successors are appointed and qualified. The failure of an appointing authority to appoint a successor or, if the appointing authority's appointment is subject to the approval of a legislative body, to nominate a successor within sixty (60) days of the expiration of the term of office of a member of a district governing body shall constitute the reappointment of that member for another term of office.
