SUMMARY

This amendment adds to the bill a change to the notice requirement for proposed financing of costs greater than $30,000 from 7 days to 14 days and requires that notice be provided in a newspaper or newsletter having a general circulation in the Town of Richmond and be mailed to district voters and customers via postcard or bill insert instead of in only a newspaper. The amendment also removes a section of the Richmond Utilities District charter that allows the trustees to propose a different debt limit than in the charter and submit that proposal for districtwide approval in a referendum because the bill removes the cap on indebtedness of the district.
