Latest version.
  • After the adoption of said final resolution by the board of trustees above provided, said board may call a special election and submit to the qualified electors of said district the proposition of incurring a bonded debt in the amount and for the purposes stated in said resolution.

    Said board shall call said special election by resolution, and shall recite therein the objects and purposes for which the indebtedness is proposed to be incurred; provided, that it shall be sufficient to give a brief general description of such objects and purposes; and said resolution shall also state the estimated cost of the proposed work and improvements, the amount of the principal of the indebtedness to be incurred therefor, and shall fix the maximum rate of interest to be paid on said indebtedness which shall not exceed 6 percent per annum, and shall fix the date on which said special election shall be held and the manner of voting for or against incurring such indebtedness. A proposition for incurring indebtedness for sanitary sewage disposal purposes and for flood control purposes may be united and be submitted as a single proposition, or separate propositions may be submitted for each of said purposes separately.

    For the purposes of said election, said board of trustees shall in said resolution establish election precincts within the boundaries of said district, and may form election precincts by consolidating the precincts established for general election purposes in said district to a number not exceeding six for each such bond election precinct, and shall designate a polling place and appoint one inspector, two judges and two clerks for each of such precincts.

    In all particulars not recited in such resolution, such election shall be held as nearly as practicable in conformity with the general election laws of the State.

    At such election every then qualified elector of Solano County residing within the district shall be entitled to vote thereat.

    Such resolution calling said election shall, prior to the date set for said election, be published in said district pursuant to Section 6062 of the Government Code. No other notice of such election need be given.

    No defect or irregularity in the proceedings prior to the election shall affect the validity of the bonds.

    If at such election a majority of the votes cast are in favor of incurring such bonded indebtedness, then bonds of said district for the amount stated in such proceedings shall be issued and sold as in this act provided. Said bonds and the interest thereon shall be paid by revenue derived from an annual assessment upon all the land within said district, and all the land in the district shall be and remain liable to be assessed for such payments as hereinafter provided.
