Summary

The existing Public Utility District Act authorizes the formation of public utility districts and authorizes a district to acquire, construct, own, operate, or control works for supplying its inhabitants with light, water, power, heat, transportation, telephone service, or other means of communication, or for the means for the disposition of garbage, sewage, or refuse matter. The act provides for the election of directors at large and requires that each office of director at large shall be designated as "director at large" number one, number 2, number 3, or number 4, there being as many numbers as there are directors at large to be elected. This bill would authorize the board of directors of a district to adopt an ordinance that provides that the candidates seeking election for directors at large receiving the greatest number of votes districtwide as there are directors to be elected would be elected to the board.
