What it does

BACKGROUND. This bill provides for a petition to change the form of management of a drainage or levee district (district).1). A district may also be established and managed by a joint board of supervisors if the district crosses county lines (Code chapter 468, subchapter II).322).327). In order for a board of trustees to assume management of the district, the landowners in the district must submit a petition with the county auditor, or county auditors in the case of an intercounty district, to call for a special election to elect trustees from the membership of the landowners in the district.
