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.
