Section 13845 Of Chapter 4. Existing Board Of Directors And Officers From California Health And Safety Code >> Division 12. >> Part 2.7. >> Chapter 4.
13845
. (a) Except in the case where a county board of supervisors
or a city council has appointed itself as the district board, the
number of members of a district board may be increased or decreased
if a majority of the voters voting on the question are in favor of
the question at a general district or special election. The question
shall specify the resulting number of members of the district board.
(b) The district board may adopt a resolution placing the question
on the ballot. Alternatively, upon receipt of a petition signed by
at least 25 percent of the registered voters of the district, the
district board shall adopt a resolution placing the question on the
ballot.
(c) If the question is submitted to the voters at a general
district election, the notice required by Section 12112 of the
Elections Code shall contain a statement of the question to appear on
the ballot. If the question is submitted to the voters at a special
election, the notice of election and the ballot shall contain a
statement of the question.
(d) If the voters approve of increasing the number of directors,
the new members shall be elected or appointed pursuant to this
chapter. If the district board is elected, the additional members may
be elected at the same election.
(e) If the voters approve of decreasing the number of directors,
the members of the district board continue to serve until the end of
their current terms.
(f) The number of members of a district board may be changed by
the local agency formation commission as a term and condition of
approval by the commission of any change of organization or
reorganization. Unless the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government
Reorganization Act of 2000, Division 3 (commencing with Section
56000) of Title 5 of the Government Code, otherwise requires voter
approval, the change ordered by the commission does not require
approval by the voters of the district.
