§ 6024 Harbor District Formation Requirements

This law says that after a hearing, the board can write down the facts if the petition was properly announced, signed by enough qualified people, there is a harbor in the area, and the harbor can be improved as described.

Key Takeaways

  • •The petition and hearing notice must be properly published.
  • •Enough qualified people must sign the petition.
  • •A harbor must already be present in the proposed area.
  • •The harbor must be able to be improved as described in the petition.

Example

A group of local fishermen wants to set up a new harbor district. They put a public notice in the newspaper, get enough qualified signatures, show that a harbor already exists, and explain how they will improve it.

Because they met all four requirements, the board can record the facts from the hearing and move forward with the harbor plan.
