 Article I. IN GENERAL

  § 36-14. Water control districts—Governing board.  

Latest version.

  • (a)

    The governing board of each district created under this article shall be the board of county commissioners. In order to assist the governing board of each district, there shall be a water management district advisory board, which shall consist of three (3) persons, including a chairman, who shall be so designated by the advisory board.

    (b)

    Each member of a district advisory board shall reside or own real property within the district and shall be appointed as provided hereinafter. Each member who is currently serving in an elective capacity shall become a member of the district advisory board and shall serve for the remaining term of his office. Thereafter, the board of county commissioners shall appoint each member of the district advisory board to terms of office of two (2) years. On initial appointments, one (1) of the three (3) appointed members of each district advisory board shall serve a term of one (1) year; and any remaining appointments shall be for two (2) years, so as to create terms which expire in alternating years. The board shall appoint such members as are necessary to fill expired terms of a district advisory board. When a vacancy occurs for any reason other than expiration of the term of an appointed member of a district advisory board, such vacancy shall be filled for the remainder of the term by the board of county commissioners. This subsection shall apply notwithstanding any other provision of county ordinance.

    (c)

    The director of the county department of water resources shall be ex officio executive secretary to the district advisory board.

    (d)

    The members of the district advisory board and the executive secretary shall receive no compensation for their services in such capacities, except that they shall be reimbursed by the district for all expenses incurred in the performance of their duties, which reimbursement may be for the actual amounts expended or, for travel or per diem, at state rates.

    (e)

    The governing [district advisory] board of the district is hereby authorized to employ such engineers, attorneys, other professional persons, and such personnel and assistants as the governing board may deem necessary, under such terms and conditions as it may determine, and to terminate such employment.

Editor's note

Section 6 of Ord. No. 79-93, adopted Sept. 19, 1979, amended § 36-14 by repealing subsections (b), (c) and (d), creating a new subsection (b), and redesignating subsections (e) and (f) as (c) and (d). It did not, however, address subsection (g) in any way. In order to maintain the correct sequence, the editor has redesignated subsection (g) as (e), inserting the bracketed term as being similar to substantive changes made in new subsections (b)—(d).
