Article 48. Rio Grande Water Conservation District
Section 37-48-147. Directors bound by financing plan.

(1) The board of directors of the district shall be bound by the plan of financing set forth in the petition for the organization of the subdistrict and approved by the decree of the district court. The appointment of appraisers shall not be necessary if the official plan adopted does not utilize special improvement bonds as a means of financing the subdistrict official plan, but the district or the subdistrict board of managers, as the case may be, may nevertheless retain appraisers as needed to appraise the value of property to be acquired.

(2) If the plan of financing provides for the issuance of general obligation bonds of the subdistrict, such bonds shall be signed "Water Users' Association No. ..... in the Rio Grande Water Conservation District, by .........., President, Attest .........., Secretary", or "Special

Improvement District No. ..... in the Rio Grande Water Conservation District, by .........., President, Attest .........., Secretary". They shall be countersigned by the treasurer. General obligation bonds shall recite that they are obligations of the subdistrict, are issued pursuant to the provisions of this article, and are to be payable at the time, in the manner, and with the rate of interest therein specified and that the same were issued under and pursuant to a court decree and a resolution of the board of directors authorizing the issue of said obligations and referring to the date of said resolution. Said bonds shall further recite that they are payable from funds to be derived by special assessments and tax levies against the property in said subdistrict and other revenues derived from the operation of the subdistrict's official plan, as provided by the plan of financing in the petition for organization of the subdistrict, and not otherwise, that the same are not to be deemed to be an obligation of the Rio Grande water conservation district but only an obligation of said subdistrict, and that the district itself is not to be obligated in any manner for the payment of said bonds. If there is a board of managers for the subdistrict, the resolution of the board of directors authorizing said obligations shall be approved by the board of managers before being adopted by the board of directors.
