• Jurisdiction: North Dakota
• Title 40: Municipal Government
• Ch. 40-49.1: Boards of Park Commissioners Combination

Text

If a plan for combining boards of park commissioners is proposed by agreement or petition,
the participating or affected boards shall immediately submit the proposed plan to the governing
bodies of the affected cities and, if applicable, to the board of county commissioners of any
affected county. Those boards shall jointly submit the question of combination to the qualified
electors of the affected cities and counties at a primary or general election as specified in the
agreement or petition within two years of the initial submission of the agreement or petition, and
shall cause the complete text, or a fair and accurate summary, of the plan to be published in the
official newspapers of the affected cities and counties, not less than two weeks nor more than
thirty days, before the date of the election. The boards of park commissioners may, prior to the
election, hold public hearings and community forums and use other suitable means to
disseminate information, receive suggestions and comments, and encourage public discussion
of the purpose and provisions of the plan. The plan incorporated in the agreement or petition is
effective and becomes operative according to its terms if a majority of the qualified electors
voting on the question in each affected city or county approves the plan.
