     17A-2-1448.   Validation of proceedings -- Changes.
     (1) If proceedings have been adopted under authority of this part purporting to create any conservancy district thereunder, all proceedings had in connection with the creation of each such district are hereby validated, ratified and confirmed notwithstanding any failure to comply with any one or more pertinent statutory provisions and each such district is declared to be a validly created and existing district under authority of the law.
     (2) It is expressly found and determined that all taxable property lying in each such district will be benefitted by the construction of the improvements to be constructed by such district to an amount not less than the aggregate of the taxes and assessments to be levied against such property to pay for the cost of such improvements.
     (3) All proceedings had in connection with the appointment election and organization of board of trustees for each such district are ratified and approved and each such board of trustees is declared to be de facto and de jure governing body of each such district. If in any such district an election has been held on the approval of a contract with the United States of America or on the issuance of the bonds of the district or both, all proceedings had in connection with the calling and holding of each such election are validated, ratified and confirmed despite any irregularity which may have occurred therein and any contract so approved by any such election and any bonds so authorized at any such election are validated and confirmed and the board of trustees and officers of each such district are authorized and empowered to proceed to do all things necessary to the execution of such contract or to the issuance of such bonds as the case may be and each such contract when duly executed and all such bonds when delivered and paid for are declared to be valid and binding obligations of such district in accordance with the terms thereof and to be fully negotiable for all purposes.
     (4) All construction contracts heretofore entered into by any such district for the construction or acquisition of works or facilities for such district are validated, ratified, and confirmed and declared to be valid obligations of such district in accordance with the terms thereof. The board of trustees of any such district may make such changes in any contract or in any bond proceedings or bonds hereby validated as may in its opinion be desirable for the best interests of such district without in any wise impairing or making ineffective any of the curative effect of this section. Any such change or changes may be so made despite the fact that such change or changes may be inconsistent with the proceedings at which any such contract, if voted at an election, or any such bonds, where voted, and no new election to approve or authorize such change or changes shall be necessary.
