This law states that the district will have an assessor and five board members as officers. It also clarifies that someone who is already a member of a city's legislative body can still serve on the board of the district even if the city is within the district's boundaries.

This law allows for changes in the number of directors on the board when two or more districts consolidate or reorganize into one sanitary district. The local agency formation commission can increase the number of directors to 7, 9, or 11 during this transition. After the initial terms of these directors end, the board size is adjusted to comply with the district's main guidelines unless otherwise specified. If a vacancy occurs and there are more than five directors, the board may choose not to fill it, thereby reducing the board size and must inform the board of supervisors.

Key terms such as 'consolidation,' 'district,' and 'reorganization' refer to specific definitions in the Government Code.

This law explains that when a sanitary district in California consolidates with or annexes another district that has similar functions, the district's board of directors can be increased from five to seven members within two years. The two new board members must come from the area that was consolidated or annexed. Their initial terms cannot exceed four years, and the aim is to balance the number of directors elected in future general district elections. Additionally, whenever this part refers to five board members, it now means seven for this expanded board, and voting majority calculations change accordingly.

This law says that if the Capistrano Beach and Dana Point Sanitary Districts merge, the new board will start with 10 members from the current boards of both districts. Within 60 days, these members must decide how many directors the board should have (5, 7, 9, or 11) and select who will serve on it. If they choose 11 members, an eleventh person must be appointed. They must then inform the Orange County Board of Supervisors and Registrar of Voters about the board's composition and term expirations. If this isn't done in time, the Orange County Board of Supervisors will decide the board's size and members, or call a special election. Until then, the original 10 members will serve as the board.

This section establishes that the board is in charge of overseeing the district and is responsible for exercising all district powers, except for the initial creation of an assessment roll.

For most board members, their term lasts four years. They remain in office until their successors are elected and qualify, or if they resign or move out of the district.

This law states that if there is an empty seat on the board, it must be filled according to the rules in Section 1780 of the Government Code.

This section explains how board members in a newly formed or reorganized district in California will determine the length of their terms. During their first meeting, or soon after, board members decide by lottery who will serve until the next election cycles. Two members serve until the election in the first even-numbered year after forming or reorganizing, and three serve until the second even-numbered year. For districts as of January 1, 1967, and new districts, the duration of board member terms is set by different rules provided in the Elections Code.

The board must select one of its members to be the president and appoint a secretary, who can also be a board member, at its first meeting or as soon as possible afterwards.

This law states that all official documents for the district, like contracts and deeds, must be signed by the district's president and countersigned by the secretary. However, the board can pass a resolution to allow the district manager or certain district employees to sign these documents on behalf of the district.

This law states that the board is allowed to hold meetings at times that are convenient, whether during the day or evening.

If the usual president or secretary can't perform their duties, the board should appoint temporary replacements as needed.

This law explains the payment and expense rules for board members of a sanitary district. Board members can get paid up to $100 per day for attending meetings or doing board-authorized work, but only for up to six days a month. The district board can pass a law to raise this amount. The board's secretary gets pay set by the board, which is instead of meeting-attendance pay. This section also refers to other government codes that decide whether a director’s work on a specific day is payable and how expenses are reimbursed.

This law outlines the process for making general regulations public through a board. The regulations must be recorded and then either published in a local newspaper or posted in public places if no newspaper exists locally. The board can choose to publish a summary of the regulation, detailing the votes of board members, while the full text is available at the board clerk's office. If summarizing isn’t feasible, a larger newspaper advertisement explaining the regulation and how to obtain a copy will be published. The board's confirmation that the publication or posting was done serves as proof of compliance, and the regulation becomes effective a week after publication or posting.

This law states that certain orders, which don't establish a general rule or regulation, don't have to be published or posted publicly. Instead, these orders just need to be recorded in the meeting minutes and they become effective as soon as they are adopted.

The district board has the authority to create rules that dictate how certain facilities are built, repaired, maintained, and operated. These rules can reference existing codes without listing all details, and they must be available for public viewing at the secretary's office.

This law allows district boards to adopt certain codes by referencing existing ones, similar to how local government bodies do, as outlined in a specific part of the Government Code. Essentially, it treats district boards like legislative bodies and districts like local agencies. Any code adopted in this manner must have restrictions at least as strict as those in the State Housing Law but can't include penalty clauses. Violating these adopted codes is considered a misdemeanor.

This law means that ordinances, which are rules made by a district, can be created just like the board's general regulations and are just as powerful in their application.

This law says that a district in California can destroy a record following specific procedures outlined in another part of the Government Code. The process starts with Section 60200 of Title 6. Basically, there's a certain way they have to go about getting rid of records, and they need to stick to those rules.

This law allows the board to direct the county's district attorney to start legal action to enforce the board's rules. The board can also ask the district attorney for advice on health issues. The district attorney must follow these instructions and provide advice when asked.

This law states that a district can decide to make the county's health officer the district's health officer too. If the district's board and the county's board of supervisors agree, the county health officer will also serve the district. In this role, the health officer provides guidance and helps the district carry out its responsibilities effectively.

This law allows the board to hire special lawyers for any reason whenever they feel it is necessary.

Every two years, when board members are elected, an election for the assessor also takes place. If a district has chosen to use the county's tax records for its own tax purposes, it stops electing an assessor until it decides to use its own tax roll again.

The assessor's term is two years, continuing until a new assessor is elected and qualified. If this position becomes vacant, the board appoints someone to serve until the next election.

This section explains that the assessor’s main responsibilities are defined in this part of the law. Additionally, the assessor must also carry out any other tasks that are directed or required by the board.

This law states that the salary for the assessor is determined by the board.

This law allows sanitary districts to organize and classify employment positions within the district, creating a system known as classified civil service. Positions can only be filled following certain rules set by the sanitary board.

The board can establish, alter, and implement rules about job exams, hiring, promotions, and terminations, and it must publish any rule changes.

Exams for these positions are meant to be practical and focused on the skills and abilities relevant to the job, excluding any political or religious questions. The board oversees all examinations, and hires laborers mainly based on when they applied.

This law states that any county officer or health officer who works for a district as part of their county job can get reimbursed by the district for expenses they incur while working for the district. The reimbursement can't be more than what they actually spent.

This law allows a district's governing board to dissolve itself if its boundaries touch a city's boundaries, and the city has a contract to manage the district's facilities. The decision requires a 4/5 majority vote from the district's board. Once dissolved, the city's governing body takes over as the district's governing board.

This law allows the board of a district to change the district's name if they pass a resolution. The new name must include 'Sanitary District' or accurately describe what the district does. The name change becomes official once a certified copy is recorded with the county recorder where the district is located.
