SB1080 is a bill that proposes updates to the administration abilities of irrigation and water conservation district boards. The bill allows district bylaws, rules, regulations, or resolutions to be posted on a district-maintained website, rather than in public places or newspapers. It also adds the power for a board to borrow money through loans or credit, including establishing a revolving line of credit with a financial institution for up to 25% of the previous fiscal year's actual expenditures. The line of credit can be used for operating or capital purposes and can be secured and repaid with any lawfully available district funds at the board's discretion. Additionally, the bill changes the requirement for regular board meetings, allowing them to be held at locations other than the district office, provided the location is included in the meeting notice. The secretary of a district is designated to serve as the clerk for the purpose of service of process on the district. Technical and conforming changes are also made by the bill.
