Colorado § 37-42-141 - Ratification of irrigation district.

§ 37-42-141. Ratification of irrigation district.

If the landowners of an irrigation district entitled to vote at elections have authorized the dissolution of the district in the manner provided by section 37-42-139 but the plan of dissolution so authorized has not been implemented and the district has continued to function as an irrigation district, the district may submit the question of ratification of the district to the qualified voters in a district election as specified in section 37-42-112. If a majority of the votes cast at the election are in favor of the ratification of the district, the prior authorization of dissolution shall be deemed null and void. The directors shall file their certificate of that fact with the county clerk and recorder of the county wherein such district is situated, and the district shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be a de jure irrigation district.
