WATER CODE

SECTION 74650-74652

74650. (a) A district may act by ordinance in exercising its powers
under this division over lands, structures, and facilities in which
the district has a real property interest. All ordinances shall be
enacted only by rollcall vote entered into the proceedings of the
board.
(b) It is the policy of the Legislature to avoid duplication of
authority of local districts to regulate upon the same subjects in
the same area. Accordingly, this chapter shall not apply to a
district lying within another district having and exercising, in
accordance with the governing statute of the overlying district, the
authority to adopt and enforce, upon civil or penal sanction,
ordinances for the same purposes.

74651. An ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon
adoption, but shall be published once in full in a newspaper of
general circulation, printed, published, and circulated in the
district within 10 days after adoption, or if there be no such
newspaper, then posted within that time in three public places within
the district.

74652. It is a misdemeanor for any person to violate any district
ordinance adopted pursuant to Section 74650 from and after the
publication or posting of the ordinance pursuant to Section 74651.
The violation shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed five
hundred dollars ($500), or imprisonment in the county jail not to
exceed 30 days, or by both that fine and imprisonment. Any violation
or threatened violation may also be enjoined by civil action.
