48-1511. Canvass of votes; order based on
results; completion of district formation; qualification of
directors
A. The board of supervisors shall meet on the second Monday next succeeding the
election and canvass the votes cast. If it appears that at least a majority of the votes
cast at the election in the proposed district have voted "power district, yes," the board
shall, by an order entered on its minutes, declare the district organized under the name
and style previously designated, and shall declare the persons receiving the highest
number of votes in each division of the district to be duly elected as division
directors, and the two persons receiving the highest number of votes for candidates at
large to be duly elected to represent the district at large. The order shall describe
the boundaries of the whole district and particularly describe the lands finally included
therein for district purposes.
B. The board shall cause a copy of the order, including a map of the district
showing the boundaries of the district and lands ordered to be included therein, duly
certified by the clerk of the board of supervisors, to be immediately filed for record in
the office of the county recorder of each county in which any portion of the lands is
located.
C. Upon recording such order, the organization of the district shall be complete,
and the directors shall within fifteen days thereafter qualify in the same manner as in
this chapter required of directors elected at any subsequent elections. The directors
shall thereafter immediately enter upon the duties of their respective offices, and shall
hold their offices for one year from January 1 next preceding the election, or until
their successors are elected and qualified.
