Section 4. That § 46A-3E-10 be amended to read as follows:
46A-3E-10. The board of directors of a water development district shall at the time of the
organization of the board and annually thereafter on a date established by the district, but before the
first of October, adopt a budget and prepare an operations and budget report. The report shall present
estimates and itemizations of all the expenses and obligations of the water development district,
including expenses of directors, expenses of operating the office, debt service and retirement, and
obligations and liabilities to the United States. Before approval of the budget by the district board
of directors, a public hearing shall be held. Notice of the hearing shall be published once each week
for two successive weeks in the water development district's official newspapers. The notice shall
state the time and place of the hearing, its purpose, and that at the hearing all persons interested may
appear, either in person or by representative, and be heard and given an opportunity for a full and
complete discussion of all items in the budget. With the first notice, the budget shall be published
in a form approved by the auditor general. At the conclusion of the hearing, the water development
district board may eliminate or amend any portion of the budget before adoption.
Section 5. That § 46A-3E-11 be amended to read as follows:
46A-3E-11. Upon completion and adoption of a budget, a water development district board of
directors shall make a tax levy or special assessment or both in dollars sufficient to fund the budget.
Any tax levy made against the property in any given county in a water development district shall be
in an amount equal to the total water development district tax levy in dollars multiplied by the
county's proportional share. The county's proportional share shall be determined by dividing the
equalized assessed valuation of the area within the water development district for that county by the
total water development district equalized assessed valuation. The provisions of § 10-12-34.1 may
not prohibit apportionment of the tax among the counties as provided in this section. No water
development district tax levy may be in excess of the limitation specified in chapters 46A-3A to
46A-3E, inclusive, except as provided in § 46A-3E-1. Any tax levy shall be in the form of a
resolution adopted by a majority vote of the members of the board of directors of the water
development district.
Section 6. That § 46A-3E-14 be amended to read as follows:
46A-3E-14. Appropriate tax collecting officials shall collect all water development district taxes
and assessments, together with interest and penalty thereon, if any, in the same manner as the general
taxes and assessments are collected and shall pay over monthly to the water development district
treasurer all taxes so collected during the preceding month, with interest and penalties. The water
development district treasurer shall immediately enter these receipts to the credit of the depository
accounts designated by the water development district board of directors pursuant to § 46A-3E-10.
Section 7. That § 46A-3B-3 be amended to read as follows:
46A-3B-3. As soon as possible following each decennial census of population or any adjustment
to a water development district boundary, the Board of Water and Natural Resources shall ascertain
whether the number of board members should be adjusted, adjust the same, and redistrict water
development district director areas to reflect changes in the population of the water development
district so as to assure equitable representation of all areas within the water development district. The
board may make adjustments to water development district director areas to reflect precinct changes
made pursuant to chapter 12-14 if equitable representation of all areas remains assured.
