H.P. 1884 - L.D. 2620
An Act to Amend the Farmington Falls Standard Water District
Mandate preamble. This measure requires one or more local units of government to expand or modify activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures from local revenues but does not provide funding for at least 90% of those expenditures. Pursuant to the Constitution of Maine, Article IX, Section 21, two thirds of all of the members elected to each House have determined it necessary to enact this measure.
Emergency preamble. Whereas, Acts of the Legislature do not become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, in order for the Farmington Falls Standard Water District to function efficiently and harmoniously, the number of and manner of electing its trustees need to be changed immediately; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, therefore,
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. P&SL 1999, c. 21, §3, first sentence is repealed and the following enacted in its place:
The board of trustees of the district is composed of 5 trustees, 2 from that part of the Town of Chesterville included in the district, 2 from that part of the Town of Farmington included in the district and one trustee at large to be chosen from either part of the district.
Emergency clause. In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this Act takes effect when approved.
Effective April 13, 2000.
