Section 81405 Of Article 1. Board Of Directors From California Water Code >> Division 31. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 1.
81405
. (a) Weighted voting shall be based on the average deliveries
of water during the 2000-01 fiscal year, as set forth in Section
81460.
(b) When weighted voting is in effect, there shall be a total of
100 possible votes. The allocation of these votes among the directors
shall be determined as follows:
(1) The water deliveries to each member public entity, California
Water Service Company, and Stanford University, as set forth in
Section 81460, shall be totaled.
(2) Each director representing a member public entity whose
individual water delivery is less than 1.5 percent of the total
amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be assigned one
vote.
(3) The water deliveries to all member public entities assigned
one vote pursuant to paragraph (2) shall be totaled and that sum
shall be subtracted from the total amount calculated pursuant to
paragraph (1).
(4) The ratio of individual water deliveries to each remaining
member public entity, California Water Service Company, and Stanford
University to the total water deliveries calculated pursuant to
paragraph (3) shall be determined and expressed as a fraction.
(5) The total number of votes assigned to directors pursuant to
paragraph (2) shall be subtracted from 100.
(6) The number resulting from the calculation described in
paragraph (5) shall be multiplied by the fractions calculated
pursuant to paragraph (4), and the products of that multiplication
shall be rounded to the nearest whole number. Each director, other
than those assigned one vote pursuant to paragraph (2), shall be
assigned the number of votes resulting from this calculation.
(c) When weighted voting is in effect, the affirmative vote of
directors representing both (1) a majority of the members of the
board present and voting, and (2) a majority of the number of votes,
determined pursuant to this section, represented by directors present
and voting shall be necessary to carry any motion, resolution, or
ordinance.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, the
board may establish alternative procedures and methods for weighted
voting, including a limitation on the types of measures to which it
applies, by a vote of (1) at least two-thirds of all the directors of
the board, each director having one vote on the question, and (2) at
least 51 votes, determined pursuant to this section.
