Terms Used In Arizona Laws 48-3707
- Board: means the board of directors of a multi-county water conservation district. See Arizona Laws 48-3701
- Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
- District: means a multi-county water conservation district organized under the authority of this chapter. See Arizona Laws 48-3701
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Property: includes both real and personal property. See Arizona Laws 1-215
- Secretary: means the secretary of the interior of the United States of America. See Arizona Laws 48-3701
B. A county not originally included in the district may petition for inclusion in the district upon agreement to pay the county’s accrued equitable share of construction costs previously paid by the district and interest thereon. Such petition shall be filed with the director and a copy served upon the district. The proceedings and hearings shall be in all respects the same as in the organization of districts. After inclusion within the district, the taxable property within the petitioning county is subject to a tax levy as provided for by this chapter. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the board of supervisors of a petitioning county may levy an additional tax to accomplish the purposes of this section.
