The Irrigation District Law provides for the formation of irrigation districts with prescribed powers. The district law generally requires a director on the board of an irrigation district to be a voter, landowner, and resident in the division of the district that the director represents.
This bill would authorize the board of directors of the South Fork Irrigation District to adopt a resolution that authorizes a person to be a director if the person is a landowner or a legal representative of a landowner within the division of the district, resides within the district or within 5 miles of any district boundary, and is a registered voter in California. The bill would authorize the registered voters in the district to request and require that a director of the district be a voter, landowner, and resident in the division of the district that the director represents, as prescribed.
