Bill Summary
The bill amends sections of the law concerning flood control districts, specifically altering meeting procedures, commissioner compensation, and powers and duties. It allows board meetings to be held at designated offices, either inside or outside district boundaries, and updates meeting notice procedures to align with open meetings law. The cap of $100 per day for commissioner compensation is removed, and compensation will now be set by resolution. The bill also expands the powers and duties of commissioners, including provisions for levying taxes, entering contracts, and managing district operations.
