Section 6480.5 Of Chapter 3. Officers From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 6. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 3.
6480.5
. At any time within two years after a sanitary district
consolidates with or annexes the territory of a district having
powers and functions substantially identical to those of a sanitary
district formed pursuant to this part, the board of directors of the
sanitary district may, by resolution, increase the number of members
of the board from five to seven, and may designate the first two
additional members to serve on the enlarged board. If the board is
enlarged subsequent to the consolidation with, or the annexation of
the territory of, another district, the first two additional
directors so designated shall be resident voters of such consolidated
or annexed territory. The board shall determine the term of office
of each of the new directors so appointed, but in no event shall such
term designated by the board be for more than four years. The terms
of office thus created shall be determined in such a manner as to
keep as nearly equal as practicable the number of directors to be
elected at each subsequent general district election. Upon the
expiration of such term so designated by the board, the membership
shall be filled at the next general district election and general
district elections held thereafter for the election of officers of
the district.
Any references to five members of the board in this part mean
seven members as applied to a board increased in size pursuant to
this section. In the same manner, references to three members mean
four members and to two members mean three members, and references to
a four-fifths vote mean a five-sevenths vote, as applied to an
enlarged board.
