§ 36-10-3-36 — Extension of service to unincorporated area; area to become part of district; appointment of member to board; application of chapter

(a) If a majority of those voting in a special
election vote under section 35 of this chapter for the extension of park
and recreation services, then at the beginning of the next fiscal year the
area becomes part of the district of the department.
(b) At the time the area becomes part of the district, the circuit judge
of the county shall appoint a member from the area to the board. The
member shall be appointed with the same qualifications and for the
same term as other members and has the same powers and duties. If the
petition of more than one (1) area is approved, the circuit judge shall
make the selection of members so as to maintain the bipartisan
character of the board as far as possible. As each additional member is
appointed, the quorum of the board is increased by one (1).
(c) The board has the same powers and duties to provide park and
recreation service to the area as it has for the municipality, and this
chapter applies as fully to the area to which service is extended as it
applies to a municipality. However, the board need not provide service
to the area before revenues from the area are available.
