Existing law, the Desert View Water District-Bighorn Mountains Water Agency Consolidation Law, authorized a consolidation between the Desert View Water District and the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency and required a county water district consolidated with the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency to separately account for and use all funds derived from the operation of the former district system exclusively for the purposes of maintenance, operation, betterments, and bond debt service of the acquired system until all debt of the former system has been paid in full or until a majority vote of the electorate, as prescribed, authorizes other expenditures. Under existing law, the Desert View Water District and the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency consolidated forming the Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency. Existing law, the Bighorn-Desert View Water Agency Law, grants to the consolidated successor district specified authorizations, powers, and duties and makes a violation of certain regulations and ordinances a misdemeanor. This bill would make conforming changes related to the consolidated district and would repeal the provisions under which the consolidation was completed. The bill would revise various provisions relating to the operation of the district, including, but not limited to, specifying procedures for the repayment of bonded indebtedness incurred prior to the consolidation, and eliminating the misdemeanor for violations of ordinances of the district and making a violation of certain regulations an infraction instead of misdemeanor, as prescribed. This bill would require the district to set an annual appropriations limit and adopt an annual budget, as prescribed. Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest. This bill would make legislative findings demonstrating these in regard to the limitation of certain public posting requirements by the bill.
