01:55 PM -- HB17-1198
Representative Gray, sponsor, explained the bill. The bill allows a special district having a five-member board to increase the number of board members to seven by the adoption of a resolution of the board of county commissioners or the governing body of the municipality that approved the service plan of the special district. If an increase is made, a board cannot be reduced back to five members. The bill also specifies the length of the initial term of each new special district board member and sets forth the election requirements. Representative Gray distributed amendment L 001 (Attachment A). The amendment clarifies that the new special district board members are to be elected and not appointed. Discussion ensued regarding the size and responsibilities of special district boards.
