Statute overview

About this statute

Local custom is only one factor in judging the reasonableness of a water use, method of use, or diversion; it cannot by itself decide the issue. This section says the coordinated state water conservation, development, and utilization plan is called the “State Water Plan.” The American River Development is included in the State Water Plan. The State may not issue a water appropriation permit for a project that would flood any part of Gold Discovery Site State Park at Coloma unless the issuance is specifically authorized by law. This section gives the Georgetown Divide Public Utility District rights to pursue a federal permit and license, limits water-rights filings and permits for certain South Fork of the American River projects for set periods, and requires some applicants to evaluate alternatives or replace lost uses.

Each qualified voter who votes shall sign the roster opposite his or her name. (b) Any voter holding a proxy or authority of legal representative shall deliver it to the judge for inspection. If the proxy or authority is valid, the voter shall sign his or her own name followed by the word “proxy” or “authority” in the roster opposite the name of the person giving the proxy or the authority. (c) A voter list of all persons eligible to vote shall be kept by a member of the precinct board.

(i) After voting the voter shall refold the ballot and deliver it to a member of the precinct board who shall examine only that portion of the ballot that is exposed above the fold line and check that the number of votes marked on the ballot corresponds with the number of votes on the ballot slip of that ballot. Any error in the number of votes shall be corrected by that member in ink or indelible pencil and initialed by two members of the precinct board. The remaining portion of the ballot above the perforated line, shall be removed and delivered to the voter. The folded ballot shall be placed into the ballot box.

The Irish Beach Water District may acquire, construct, and operate facilities for providing fire protection to the district and its inhabitants, including buildings, engines, hose, hose carts, or carriages, and other appliances and supplies for the full equipment of a fire company or department. The Irish Beach Water District for the purpose of providing fire protection services may exercise any of the powers, functions, and duties which are vested in, or imposed upon, a fire protection district pursuant to the Fire Protection District Law of 1987, Part 3 (commencing with Section 13800) of Division 12 of the Health and Safety Code. If the district includes any part of a city, fire protection district, or other local agency which provides fire protection service to any territory in the district, or if the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection provides fire protection service to any territory in the district, the district shall have no authority pursuant to this section regarding the prevention and suppression of fires in these territories, unless the district has obtained the consent of the city, fire protection district, other local agency, or the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. The provisions of this section are necessary because of the great need for fire protection services within the area of the Irish Beach Water District. There is no other local governmental entity willing to provide this service to the people of the district. This problem is not common to all districts formed under this division. It is therefore hereby declared that a general law cannot be made applicable and that the enactment of this section as a special law is necessary for the solution of problems existing in the Irish Beach Water District.
