This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to flood control districts, specifically focusing on the operations and governance of the Board of Commissioners. Key changes include the clarification of the board's meeting procedures, such as designating the official office location, the process for calling special meetings, and ensuring that all meetings are public and comply with open meetings law. Additionally, the bill revises the compensation structure for commissioners, allowing them to set their compensation and reimbursement for expenses by resolution, while also establishing a daily compensation limit for their service.
Furthermore, the bill outlines the powers and duties of the commissioners, including the authority to levy taxes for funding, manage district operations, and enter into contracts. It emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability in financial matters, requiring annual financial statements and audits. The bill also allows for the acceptance of donations and contributions to support flood control operations. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective from July 1, 2025.
