This law defines how the board of directors for a sanitation district is formed. It requires that a board of directors has at least three members. If a city is entirely or partially included in a sanitation district, that city's presiding officer is on the board. The same applies to sanitary districts. If unincorporated areas are included, the county's head of the board of supervisors joins the board.

Cities with fewer than 2,500,000 people, along with their respective boards, select alternate directors to step in when necessary. For cities with over 2,500,000 people, the presiding officer must choose another council member as an alternate. If the sanitation district includes both cities and unincorporated areas, specific rules dictate which officers from cities or sanitary districts form the board.

In some cases, the entire county board or city legislative body may serve as the board of directors, depending on population factors and territorial boundaries. A city wholly within a sanitary district that lies in a sanitation district may not have a representative on the board. Special provisions exist if territories overlap in specific ways, allowing some governing bodies to designate the board of supervisors or city council as the sanitation district board. The term 'sanitary district' also covers certain county water districts.

This law outlines how the board of directors for a sanitation district in California is formed. If the district only covers non-city areas, the county board acts as the board of directors. If the district includes city or other public areas, each related governing body sends a leader to the board, and another member is added if needed for an odd number. Governing bodies can appoint substitutes, and cities can have a county board member vote on their behalf. Alternatively, voters in the district may elect board members. The law also explains that a sanitation district board must have an odd number of at least three members, and clarifies what a 'public agency' means in this context.

This law allows a sanitation district to change its governing board to the structure described in Section 4730.1. To do this, the district's current board must pass a resolution stating their intention to make this change.

The resolution must include a statement about forming the new board and details about when and where any objections can be heard, with the hearing happening no sooner than 30 days after the resolution is adopted. This resolution must be published twice in a local newspaper.

During the scheduled hearing, the board will consider any objections. After the hearing, the board can decide to proceed with the new governing structure. They must send a copy of this decision to the local board of supervisors and all related city and district governing bodies.

This law explains what happens when local agency commissions merge or reorganize districts into one county sanitation district. They can increase the board of directors to 7, 9, or 11 members temporarily. These directors are initially selected from the current boards of the districts being merged or reorganized.

When the terms of these directors expire, the board size will decrease to the number allowed by the consolidated district's main rules, or whatever larger number the agency decides. Also, if there's a vacancy on a board with more than five directors, the remaining board members can decide not to fill it, which reduces the board size. The board must inform the supervisors of this choice.

The terms 'consolidation,' 'district,' and 'reorganization' refer to specific legal definitions in other sections of the Government Code.

This legal section sets up rules for how the Monterey Regional County Sanitation District's board is formed and operates. It specifies that the board must have at least three members, appointed by different local entities like cities or counties. If the district covers areas without other agencies, the county board appoints members to ensure there are three in total.

Each member can have one vote, but they can request a weighted voting system based on the population they represent. Population numbers are taken from the latest census or state estimate, not including populations on the Fort Ord military base. A meeting can only proceed if most board members are present.

The law also allows the board to choose where to keep its revenue for operations, with certain protections against loss. Other income, like bond payments, goes to the county treasury for district use.

This law outlines how the board of directors for the Ventura Regional Sanitation District is structured and how its members are appointed. Members are selected from the legislative bodies of cities within the district and a special district committee. Each city picks one member and can also appoint an alternate, who can vote if the regular member is absent or unable to participate.

The special district committee, made up of representatives from independently elected boards, also contributes a member and an alternate. Every board member gets one vote, and decisions require the presence of a majority of board members. Actions need a majority of those present to pass unless the law states otherwise.

The Delta Diablo Sanitation District's board can choose where to safely keep money collected for operating and maintaining its services. They can invest this money in various types of insured bank accounts. Other funds, like those collected for paying off district bonds or for big projects, must be kept in the county treasury. Any bank they choose needs to provide security to protect against losing district funds and must be able to pay out on checks as the board decides.

This law states that in Riverside County, if a sanitation district doesn't include any city areas, its governing board will be the county's board of supervisors. It can encompass areas from one or more previous sanitary districts, as long as they are in unincorporated parts of the county. However, if a sanitation district overlaps with a sanitary district, it cannot take over any functions that the sanitary district has performed in the last decade before January 1, 1994. Additionally, the district has the authority to handle solid waste similarly to Riverside County, as outlined by the state's waste management laws.

This law outlines the composition of the governing board for the Napa Sanitation District. Besides the usual board members, there must also be one public member appointed by the Napa City Council and another public member appointed by the Napa County Board of Supervisors.

This law explains how the governing body of the South San Luis Obispo County Sanitation District should be formed from January 1, 1996, onwards. A member of the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors can't be part of this governing body unless their absence would result in an even number of total members. This rule only affects those appointed to the sanitation district after January 1, 1996.

The law renames the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District to the Sacramento Area Sewer District and outlines the composition of its governing body. This board will include the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, representatives from each city within the district, and a specific member from the Yolo County Board of Supervisors. Each city will appoint board members based on its population size, with details provided for the number of members per population range.

The population count for appointment is based on the most recent census or Department of Finance estimates. Cities and the Yolo County Board can appoint alternate members to act when the main appointees are absent or unable to act. Each member on the board has one vote, but if there's a tie and the board has an even number of members, the chairperson gets an extra vote.

This law specifies the composition and operation of the board of directors for the Orange County Sanitation District. It includes one member from the city council of each city within the district, except Yorba Linda, unless their sewer falls within another district. There is also one representative from the county board of supervisors, each relevant sanitary district, certain public agencies, and the Yorba Linda Water District. The law allows these bodies to appoint alternate representatives if necessary. To conduct any actions, a majority of board members must be present at meetings, and a majority vote is needed to approve actions unless a different requirement is specified.

This law applies specifically to a sanitation district in Orange County, giving it additional authority to manage urban runoff. The district can build and operate facilities to divert, treat, and reintroduce runoff water back into drainage systems, and use the water beneficially. The district has access to various powers to support these activities, while still needing to obtain necessary permits. This section is an add-on to their existing powers.

This law pertains to specific sanitation districts in Los Angeles County and gives them additional powers related to managing stormwater and dry weather runoff. These districts can build and maintain facilities for moving, treating, and using this water efficiently.

Before starting any runoff project, especially in certain water districts, these sanitation districts must coordinate with relevant watermasters and water management organizations to avoid conflicts. They still need to get any legally required permits for their activities.

This law does not force any local agency to fund these projects nor does it change anyone’s existing water rights. Additionally, it refers to other laws governing water rights and conservation.

This law states that if new areas are added to a district or if the nature of an area changes, like by becoming a city, and this requires a change in the district board members, the change in board membership happens right away.

The county auditor automatically serves as the auditor for any district formed within the county.

This law outlines the compensation rules for members of a district board. Each member can be paid up to $100 for each meeting or day's work requested by the board, with a maximum of six days per month, plus expenses. However, the board can increase this compensation by passing a specific ordinance. Whether a director's activities are eligible for compensation follows other government guidelines. Expense reimbursements are also governed by specific rules in the Government Code.

When two or more county sanitation districts work together on systems like sewers or waste plants, they can agree to hold joint meetings. If they do, they can cap the pay for directors who attend these meetings at $50 per meeting, but total pay cannot exceed $100 monthly. Whether a director’s activities count for pay aligns with a specific government code section.

This law allows two or more county sanitation districts that work together on sewage or refuse systems to compensate a joint chairman for overseeing their meetings. The joint chairman, who is a director from one of the districts, can be paid the same amount that directors from their individual districts receive.

If a city leaves a district and the district board ends up with fewer than three members, the process to fill the empty spot must follow the rules laid out in this chapter for altering the board's membership.
