4-52-8. Referendum.

After the board of county commissioners has made and recorded a determination that there is need, in the interest of public health, safety and welfare, for creation of the proposed district, it shall consider the question whether the operation of a district within the proposed boundaries with the powers conferred upon districts in Section 11 [4-52-11 NMSA 1978] of the Refuse Disposal Act is administratively practicable and feasible. To assist it in this determination, the board shall, within a reasonable time after entry of the finding of need for organization of the district and determination of the boundaries of the district, hold a referendum within the proposed district upon the proposition of creation of the district. Due notice of the referendum shall be given as provided in Section 7 [4-52-7 NMSA 1978] of the Refuse Disposal Act. The notice shall state the date of holding the referendum, the hours of opening and closing the polls, and shall designate one or more places within the proposed district as polling places. The board shall appoint a polling superintendent and other necessary polling officers, giving equal representation to the proponents and opponents of the question involved.
