Section 71726 Of Chapter 5. Contracts From California Water Code >> Division 20. >> Part 5. >> Chapter 5.
71726
. Any proposed contract approved by the voters of the Rainbow
Municipal Water District, as provided in this article, at a special
election held prior to January 1, 1978, shall be an approved contract
notwithstanding that the maximum interest rate on such indebtedness
was not known at the time of the special election and was not
included in the proposition submitted to the voters of the district
at the special election.
The provisions of this section are necessary because of special
circumstances within the Rainbow Municipal Water District. A special
election was held in the Rainbow Municipal Water District at which
there was submitted to the voters of the district the proposition to
approve a contract with the United States for a loan for the
acquisition and construction of water facilities. At the time the
proposed contract was submitted to the voters of the district the
maximum interest rate on the indebtedness was not known and was not
included in the proposition, although the voters were informed of the
approximate rate of interest on the indebtedness. The proposed
contract was approved by the voters and the district must enter into
the contract in order to provide needed water to the inhabitants of
the district. It is therefore hereby declared that a general law
cannot be made applicable and that the enactment of this section as a
special law is necessary for the solution of problems existing in
the Rainbow Municipal Water District.
