Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

Any city desiring to
operate or operating a city irrigation system under the provisions of sections
50-1801 through 50-1835 may contract for the delivery of irrigation water for
all or any portion of the city irrigation system and pay therefor on an
equalized basis, and may hold such interest as may be necessary and proper in
diversion works, canals or ditches jointly with any corporation or irrigation
district for the purpose of conveying water to the city irrigation system,
either wholly within or partly within and partly without or wholly without the
city limits in order to carry such water from its point of diversion to the
boundaries of the city irrigation system; and for the purpose may acquire and
hold stock in the name of the mayor of a city, in trust for the water users of
such city irrigation system, in any private water corporation to the extent
necessary to supply water for the city irrigation system, and such stock shall
be deemed to be held in trust by the city for the use and benefit of water
users of said city irrigation system. The mayor or the chairman of the council
of any city in the absence of the mayor may vote at any annual meeting of such
corporation on behalf of the city and may be elected on the board of trustees
of any such water or irrigation company, the same as though he personally was
a stockholder and as such entitled to be on such board of trustees.
