twenty-five (25) qualified electors or owners of land lying within the
boundaries of such district or, if less than twenty-five (25) owners of land
or qualified electors reside within the boundaries of such district it would
be deemed sufficient if two-thirds (2/3) of the resident group, may file a
petition with the state soil conservation commission praying that the
operations of the district be terminated and the existence of the district
discontinued. After such petition has been received by the state soil
conservation commission it shall give notice of the holding of an election,
subject to the provisions of section 34-106, Idaho Code, which the said
commission shall supervise and govern the conduct in accordance with the
provisions of chapter 14, title 34, Idaho Code. The question to be submitted
by ballots upon which the words "For terminating the existence of the (name of
the watershed improvement district to be here inserted)" and "Against
terminating the existence of the (name of the watershed improvement district
to be inserted here)" shall appear with a square before each proposition, and
a direction to insert an X mark in the square before one or the other of said
propositions as the voter may favor or oppose discontinuance of such district.
All qualified electors who own land or reside within the proposed district
shall be eligible to vote in said election. No informality in the conduct of
such election or in any matters relating thereto shall invalidate said
election or the result thereof if notice thereof shall have been given as
herein provided, and said election shall have been fairly conducted.
The state soil conservation commission shall certify the result of such
election to the directors of the district. If the state soil conservation
commission shall certify that a majority of the votes cast in said election
favor the discontinuance of the existence of the district, the directors of
the district shall forthwith proceed to terminate the affairs of the district.
Any moneys remaining in the treasury of said district following the winding up
of the affairs of the district shall be paid by the directors into the state
treasury. The directors shall file an application duly verified with the
secretary of state for the discontinuance of such district which shall recite
that the affairs of the district have been wound up, and shall set forth a
full accounting of the winding up of the affairs of said district. The
secretary of state shall issue to the directors a certificate of dissolution,
and shall record said certificate in his office.
The state soil conservation commission shall not entertain petitions for
the discontinuance of any district nor conduct elections upon such petitions
more often than once in three (3) years.
