Notwithstanding Section 23602, or any other provision of law to the contrary, in the Littlerock Creek Irrigation District the formation of an improvement district may be proposed by the board of the district. In such event no petition shall be required for the formation of the improvement district, but the board shall give notice of and hold a hearing on the proposal as nearly as practicable in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. If the board finds that it would be for the best interests of the district and the proposed improvement district to form the improvement district, it shall proceed with the formation of the improvement district as nearly as practicable in accordance with the provisions of this chapter, except that it shall not enter a final order forming the improvement district unless the formation of the improvement district as proposed by the board is approved by the voters of the proposed improvement district at an election held within the proposed improvement district at which a majority of the voters voting on the proposition approve the formation of the improvement district as proposed by the board. Such election may be consolidated with any other election held within the district.
At the time of the hearing on the proposed improvement district, the board of directors may also determine that it is in the best interests of the district and of the improvement district that bonds be sold to finance the acquisition of any existing improvements within the improvement district and the construction of other improvements therein. An election shall then be called to submit to the voters the proposal of whether or not bonds in the amount determined by the board should be authorized, and the election shall be called and held pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 21925) of Part 4 of this division. In that event the bond election shall be consolidated with the election for the formation of the improvement district and the improvement district shall not be formed unless two-thirds of the votes cast are in favor of both the formation of the district and the issuance of the bonds.
