. In the event that the board of the El Dorado Irrigation
District determines that it may be for the best interests of the
district for the district to have seven divisions for the purposes of
Part 5 (commencing with Section 21550), it may propose, by
resolution, the creation of seven divisions, the boundaries of which
are set forth therein. The resolution shall be published pursuant to
Section 6066 of the Government Code together with a notice of a
hearing to be held to consider the proposal. At the time stated in
the notice for the hearing, the board shall consider the proposal and
hear any owners of taxable property within the district who desire
to support or oppose the proposal. If after the hearing, the board
determines that it is for the best interests of the district to have
the seven divisions with boundaries as proposed or as amended at the
hearing, it shall, by resolution, establish the divisions and
describe their boundaries. Upon the adoption of the resolution
establishing seven divisions, the board shall appoint two additional
directors at large who shall serve until the next general district
election.
Notwithstanding the adoption of the resolution establishing the
seven divisions, the five directors in office at the time of such
establishment shall continue to serve until the next general district
election. At such general district election, a director shall be
elected in each of the seven divisions established by the board's
resolution. The directors elected at such election shall classify
themselves by lot so that three shall serve for terms of two years
and four shall serve for terms of four years. Thereafter, their
successors shall serve for terms of four years.
