SECTION 60110-60111




60110.  If the department determines that the persons or property
within a proposed district will benefit directly or indirectly from
the use of or right to use the ground water supplies therein or the
replenishment waters thereof, the board of supervisors of the
principal county shall forthwith divide the proposed district into
five (5) divisions, according to and based upon the population, as
estimated by the board of supervisors of the principal county from
the register of voters used at the last general election, in such
manner as to equalize, as nearly as practicable, the population in
the respective divisions. Such divisions shall be numbered first,
second, third, fourth, fifth, and one director, who shall be a
resident thereof, shall be elected for each division by the voters
thereof, and shall take office as hereinafter provided.



60111.  When such order dividing the proposed district into five (5)
divisions is made, said board of supervisors shall call and provide
for the holding of an election to be held in said proposed district
for the purpose of determining whether or not the same shall be
incorporated, and for the purpose of electing the first board of
directors, if the district is incorporated. The election shall be
held on the next established election date not less than 74 days from
the date of the adoption of the resolution or ordinance calling the
election. The notice of such election shall describe the boundaries
of the proposed district, as modified by the report of the
department, and of the divisions thereof as so established, and shall
state the proposed name of the proposed district (which name shall
contain the words "____ Water Replenishment District"), and shall
state that the first directors will be elected at such election, who
shall take office if the district is incorporated, and shall set
forth the names of the candidates of the offices of the directors
from the respective divisions. The notice of election shall be
published in each affected county pursuant to Section 6061 of the
Government Code. Publication shall be complete at least seven, but
not more than 28, days prior to the date of the election.
