Bill > SF773

This bill allows the Crane Lake Water and Sanitary District to reduce its board of managers from five members to three members, subject to approval by the related governing body. Currently, water and sanitary districts typically have five-member boards, but this legislation provides an exception for this specific district. The bill outlines a process for transitioning to a three-member board: vacancies will not be filled until the board naturally reduces to three members, and then future vacancies will be filled to maintain the three-member structure. Additionally, the bill requires that when new board members are elected, they will be assigned to different term groups to ensure that no two board members have terms expiring in the same year. This helps provide continuity and staggered leadership for the district. The new board structure will take effect after the district's governing body and chief clerical officer complete certain legal compliance procedures. The bill aims to provide more flexibility in board management for this specific water and sanitary district while maintaining a structured approach to board composition and elections.
