and personal property necessary for corporate purposes, adopt a
corporate seal and alter the seal at pleasure, and execute all the
powers conferred in this chapter.

purpose of financing electric power facilities unless that city had
established a municipal electric utility as of July 1, 1984. Power
supplied by a municipal power agency shall not be furnished to a
municipal utility not existing as of July 1, 1984.
After July 1, 1981, a city shall not join an entity created under
this chapter or any separate administrative or legal entity created

and approved by the voters of the city.

council on its own motion. If a majority of those voting in the city
does not approve the proposal, the same or a similar proposal may be
submitted to the voters no sooner than one year from the date of the
election at which the proposal was defeated.
