§ 32-11-214 — Authorization of facilities

(1) The district, acting by and through
the board, may acquire, improve, equip, relocate, maintain, and operate the
facilities, any project, or any part thereof for the benefit of the district and the
inhabitants thereof, after the board has made such preliminary studies and
otherwise taken such action as it determines to be necessary or desirable as
preliminaries thereto.

(2) When a comprehensive program for the acquisition of facilities for the
district satisfactory to the board is available, such program shall be tentatively
adopted. The program need only describe the proposed facilities in general terms
and not in detail.

(3) A public hearing on the proposed program shall be scheduled, and notice
of the hearing shall be given by publication. After the hearing and any
adjournments thereof which may be ordered, the board may either require changes
to be made in the program as the board considers desirable, or the board may
approve the program as prepared.

(4) If any substantial changes to the comprehensive program are ordered at
any time, in the original acquisition of the facilities or in any improvement thereto,
or otherwise, a further hearing shall be held pursuant to notice which shall be given
by publication.

(5) Such a comprehensive program may consist of one project or of more
than one project. A public hearing need not be held on each such project if it
implements such a comprehensive program on which a public hearing has been
held.
