The commissioners shall, within ten days after their appointment, meet at some convenient place within the drainage district and elect one of their members as chair. They shall appoint the county auditor of one of the counties having territory included within the district clerk of the commission, whose duties are to keep and preserve the records of the commission in his or her office and to act generally as the clerical officer of the commission. Thereafter, the office of the county auditor is the office of the drainage commission.
The board of county commissioners of the county shall provide additional help and facilities necessary for the auditor to act as clerk of the commission. The cost of the additional help and facilities shall be ascertained by the commission, and included as part of the cost of the drainage proceeding conducted by the commission, and shall be collected by the commission and repaid to the county. The filing of any petition, report, or document with the county auditor for all purposes of this chapter is deemed a filing with the commission.
