54307.1
. "Local agency" also means any entity or agency created
pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of
Title 1 for the purpose of acquiring, constructing, maintaining, or
operating an enterprise for the collection, treatment, or disposal of
sewage, waste, or storm water.
(a) Any proposition submitted to an election held within such local agency or entity for the purpose of authorizing bonds shall be deemed adopted if it receives the affirmative vote of a majority of all the voters voting on the proposition. Such election shall be held within the combined territory of all agencies which, pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1, have jointly created such local agency or entity; provided that if a public agency has entered into an agreement pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1 on behalf of a county service area, improvement zone, improvement district, maintenance district, or other zone or area, only the territory of such county service area, improvement zone, maintenance district, improvement district, or other zone or area shall be included in the combined territory in which the election shall be held.
(b) If compliance with a water quality control plan, adopted pursuant to Division 7 (commencing with Section 13000) of the Water Code, requires the construction of facilities for the collection, treatment, or disposal of sewage, waste, or storm water, and if the appropriate regional water quality control board, in a cease and desist order or by other action of the board, finds or determines that immediate action for the planning and construction of such facilities is urgently needed for the compliance with such plan and the prevention of pollution, the election procedures of Article 3 (commencing with Section 54380) of this chapter shall not be applicable, but undertaking the improvement shall be subject to referendum on the issuance of bonds. The resolution of the local agency or entity authorizing the issuance of bonds pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to referendum within the combined territory of all the agencies which, pursuant to Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 7 of Title 1, have created such local agency or entity. Referendum procedures shall, as nearly as practicable, be those specified in Section 6547.2. For the purposes of Section 6547.2, however, "local agency" shall mean the local agency or entity authorizing the issuance of bonds. The electors of such local agency for the purposes of such section shall be the electors residing within the boundaries of the local agency or entity who would be qualified to vote for candidates for Governor; provided that, should all of the parties to the agreement be "landowner-voter districts" as defined in Section 56048, the agreement shall provide which principal district act shall apply for the purpose of determining voter qualifications, manner of voting, and number of votes each voter is entitled to cast. A majority vote against the issuance of bonds shall have the effect of rescinding the resolution authorizing the issuance of bonds. In the event that all parties to the agreement are "landowner-voter districts" as defined in Section 56048, and the agreement fails to specify which principal act shall apply for the purposes of determining voter qualifications, voting shall occur in the manner specified in Division 13 (commencing with Section 34000) of the Water Code.
(c) Such local agency or entity shall have the power to utilize any part of its waste or storm water or any parts of the enterprise acquired or constructed through the issuance of bonds of the local agency or entity to provide, generate, and deliver hydroelectric power, and may acquire, construct, operate, and maintain any and all works, facilities, improvements, and property necessary or convenient for such utilization.
(d) Such local agency or entity shall have the power (1) pursuant to contract, to provide, sell, and deliver hydroelectric power to the federal government or to any board, department, or agency thereof, to the State of California for purposes of the State Water Resources Development System, and to any public agency, private corporation, or any other person or entity, or any combination thereof, engaged in the sale of electric power at retail; or (2) to use all or any part of such hydroelectric power directly, or indirectly through exchange, in exercising any other power of such local agency or entity.
(e) Such local agency or entity shall have the power to acquire, construct, maintain, and operate works, facilities, improvements, and property necessary for the provision, generation, and delivery of hydroelectric power pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d) of this section.
