SECTION 33300-33306
33300. This part shall be known and may be cited as the Desert View Water District-Bighorn Mountains Water Agency Consolidation Law. 33301. As used in this part, "consolidation," as defined in Section 56030 of the Government Code, includes, for the purposes only of effecting a consolidation between the Desert View Water District and the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency, the uniting or joining of those two public entities, even though they have not been formed pursuant to the same principal act. 33302. The board of directors of a consolidated successor district shall consist of five members. The members of the board of directors of the consolidated successor district shall be elected at large unless, as a condition of consolidation, it is determined by the San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission and by action of both the boards of the Desert View Water District and the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency that the board of the consolidated successor district shall be elected entirely by divisions or by some determined and agreed upon combination of divisional and at-large elections. 33303. For a period of not less than 10 years after January 1, 1990, unless approved by an unanimous vote of the directors of the successor district, all meetings of the board of directors of the successor district shall be held in offices or places within the boundaries of the Desert View Water District in even-numbered months and in offices or places within the boundaries of the Bighorn Mountain Water Agency in odd-numbered months, as those boundaries exist on the effective date of the consolidation. 33304. Subject to San Bernardino County Local Agency Formation Commission terms and conditions to a consolidation of the Desert View Water District and the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency, the board of directors of a consolidated successor district shall operate under and pursuant to the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency Law (Chapter 1175 of the Statutes of 1969). 33305. Section 31012 applies to a county water district consolidated with the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency. 33306. Any and all actions or proceedings pending by or against either the Desert View Water District or the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency may be prosecuted to final judgment for or against those entities, or the consolidated successor district may be substituted as a party. After the effective date of the consolidation, no action or proceeding shall be brought for or against the Desert View Water District or the Bighorn Mountains Water Agency, but shall instead be prosecuted by or against the consolidated successor district.
