§ 6058 District Boundary Adjustment Rules

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can change the boundaries of a new district if they think it's a good idea.
  • •They can't leave out any land that can grow cotton if it would benefit from being in the district.
  • •They listen to people who support or oppose the new district and check if the petition follows the rules.
  • •Small mistakes in the petition or signatures won't ruin the process if there are enough valid signatures.

Example

A group of farmers wants to create a special district to help grow cotton better. They collect signatures and submit a petition to the board.

The board will look at the proposed area and might change the boundaries to include more land that can grow cotton. They will listen to farmers who agree or disagree with the idea. Even if there are small mistakes in the petition, like a typo, it won’t stop the process as long as there are enough valid signatures.

§ 6058 District Boundary Adjustment Rules

At the hearing, the board of supervisors shall make such changes in the boundaries of the proposed district as they determine to be advisable, and shall determine and describe the boundaries of the district. The board of supervisors shall not modify the boundaries so as to exclude from the district any lands growing or capable of growing cotton which would be benefited by the formation of the district. The board of supervisors shall, at the hearing, hear all competent and relevant testimony, in support of the petition, and in opposition thereto, and shall determine whether the petition complies with the requirements of this chapter. The determination of the board of supervisors shall be entered upon the minutes of the meeting. No defect in the contents of the petition, or in the title to, or form of, the notice or signature, shall vitiate any proceeding thereon if the petition has a sufficient number of qualified signatures attached thereto. (Added by Stats. 1982, Ch. 191, Sec. 2. Effective May 3, 1982.)
