Summary

Existing law, the Municipal Water District Law of 1911, authorizes the formation of a municipal water district to acquire and sell water. Existing law generally requires the board of directors of a municipal water district to consist of 5 members who hold office for a term of 4 years from and after the date of the director taking office and until the election and qualification of the director's successor. Under existing law, except as prescribed, directors take office at the time county officers take office, at 12 o'clock noon on the first Monday after the January 1st succeeding their election. Existing law establishes certain dates during which elections are to be held each year, including the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November of each year. This bill would specify that directors elected to office at a general district election held on the first Monday in November take office at the time county officers take office, on the first Monday after January 1 succeeding their election. This bill would further specify that directors elected at a general district election held at a date other than the above-mentioned November date take office 30 days following the date of certification of the results of that election. Under this bill, these provisions would become operative on January 1, 2013. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
