alternate member is to vote, Alternate No. 1 shall vote.

For attendance on meetings of the Board, members of the Board shall
each receive the sum of $2 for each meeting, to be paid in the same manner

for its government and that of its officers and employees, not inconsistent
with law or the State Sanitary Code.
