LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 2748, Flora. Tri-Dam Project: board of directors: meetings.
The Irrigation District Law provides for the formation of irrigation districts with prescribed powers. The law authorizes an irrigation district to control, distribute, store, spread, sink, treat, purify, recapture, and salvage any water, as specified. Existing law requires the board of directors of a district to hold a regular meeting on the first Tuesday of each month at the district office. Existing law authorizes the Board of Directors of the Tri-Dam Project to hold no more than 4 regular meetings annually at the Tri-Dam Project offices located in Strawberry, California.
This bill would instead authorize the board of directors to hold those regular meetings at a Tri-Dam Project office that is located in Sonora, California, or Strawberry, California, or within 30 miles of either city. The bill would require the board of directors to adopt, at a regular Tri-Dam Project meeting, a resolution that designates Tri-Dam Project office locations.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO  

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
