48-1720. Division of district; assignment of
directors
A. At any time the board of directors may divide a district into divisions not more
in number than the number of members of the board, and thereafter members of the board
shall be elected from the different divisions according to the jurisdiction of the
retiring members.
B. When a district is divided into separate divisions, the board shall assign by
lot, or in some other equitable manner, the members then in office to different
divisions, conforming as nearly as possible to the residence of the present members, and
thereafter members shall be elected according to the division from which a member's term
has expired.
C. The division of the district into divisions shall be as equal as practical with
respect to territory and population but in the division the board shall have exclusive
discretion. A member to be qualified to hold the office of member of the board of
directors shall thereafter be a qualified elector and freeholder of the division which he
represents.
