<br />000 <br /> <br />is designated as tentatively criti- <br />cal, public hearings be held in:the <br />area after due notice to people who <br />will be effected, if this bill, or a <br />similar bill,'is adopted." <br /> <br />MR. CRAWFORD: <br /> <br />"Second the motion." <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br />MR. WHITTEN: <br /> <br />"Question. " <br /> <br />"Question. " <br /> <br />Upon vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />MR. NELSON: <br /> <br />"The ter~ 'hearing by the. Board' - <br />does that mean representatives of the <br />Board or the entire Board?" <br /> <br />MR. MOSES: <br /> <br />"There would have to be a quorum <br />of the Board or certain representatives <br />designated by the Board. <br /> <br />I have one suggestion. I made it <br />before but it apparently didn't get <br />over. I notice in establishing a local <br />district, the bill requires a petition <br />signed by 25% of the landowners:of the <br />district. I don't know how landowners <br />is defined. Suppose you want to have a <br />district around, say, Paonia. If you <br />have a petition signed by 25~ of the land- <br />owners, you put the responsibility on <br />them to provide for an election. . I have <br />found the most workable plan for: setting <br />up a district that I have encountered is <br />that in the Fire Protective Law which <br />provides for a small number of initial <br />petition signers. <br /> <br />To me it doesn't make much difference <br />if a petition is signed by only one or <br />two people because it only calls for an <br />election. My theory is that if you . <br />leave in that 25~ of the landowners in <br />the district must sign the petition, it <br />will be much more difficult to set up <br />a distri~t. These districts ought to be <br />easy to initiate and then let the people <br />speak as to whether they want a district. <br />I would suggest 5~ or 100 landowners <br />whichever is the lesser." <br /> <br />I <br />
