This bill amends several sections of the Idaho Code related to flood control districts, specifically Sections 42-3113, 42-3114, and 42-3115. Key changes include the clarification of the board's meeting procedures, allowing for the official office location to be outside the district boundaries, and establishing that all meetings must comply with the open meetings law. Additionally, the bill revises the compensation structure for commissioners, allowing them to set their own compensation and reimbursement for travel expenses by resolution, while removing the previous cap of $100 per day.
Furthermore, the bill outlines the powers and duties of the board of commissioners, including the ability to levy taxes, manage district affairs, and enter into contracts. It emphasizes the board's authority to conduct various flood control activities and to cooperate with other governmental entities. The bill also includes provisions for financial accountability, such as annual audits and public reporting of the district's financial condition. An emergency clause is included, making the act effective on July 1, 2025.
