This bill enacts new provisions for the Lakeshore Villages Community Development District in St. Tammany Parish, specifically addressing the election and governance of its board of supervisors. It establishes that supervisors will be elected during congressional election dates, with terms beginning on January 3 of the following year. The supervisors will be elected from designated divisions labeled "A" through "E," and if the number of registered voters is fewer than 250 in any even-numbered year, the governing authority of St. Tammany Parish will appoint successors instead of holding elections. The bill also outlines the terms of service for supervisors, with initial terms set for those elected in 2026, and allows for the election of a chair, vice chair, and secretary by the board.
Additionally, the bill permits the board of supervisors to contract for financial and record-keeping services, enhancing the district's operational capabilities. Each supervisor may receive a per diem for attending meetings and travel expenses as authorized by the district's bylaws. The provisions outlined in this bill will take effect on January 1, 2025.
