. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the board of
directors may at any time establish divisions within the district in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter. If the board of
directors decides to establish divisions, the following shall apply:
(a) The board of directors shall by resolution divide the district
into as many divisions as there are directors and assign a number to
each division. Such divisions shall be as nearly equal in population
as practicable; provided, however, that if there is uninhabited
land, which shall be defined as land having 12 or less registered
voters residing therein in excess of 3,000 contiguous acres within
any improvement district, such land may be designated by the board of
directors as a division, and in such event elections for director
for such division, which director need only be a holder of title to
land within such division, shall be conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Article 1 (commencing with Section 35000) of Chapter 1
and Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 35100) of this part.
(b) After approving the election of directors by divisions, the
board of directors shall by resolution, not less than 120 days prior
to the next general district election, designate which divisions
shall elect directors at that election to succeed the directors whose
terms then expire. The remaining divisions shall elect directors at
the general district election next following that election.
(c) Each director elected by division shall be a resident of that
division.
(d) The board of directors by resolution may, at any time after
initially dividing the district into divisions, but not less than 120
days before a general district election, change the boundaries of
the divisions to keep them as nearly equal in population as
practicable.
