Senate Bill 2503 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to require the Commissioners Court of Henderson County, if there are fewer than three directors on the board of the Lake View Management and Development District, to appoint the necessary number of directors to fill all board vacancies on petition by a majority of real property owners in the district. The bill establishes a concurrence of a majority of the total membership of the board as sufficient for transacting any business of the district and requires the board to elect from among the directors, in addition to those already prescribed by law, any other officers the board considers necessary. The bill grants the district the powers and duties of a road district as provided in the Transportation Code and adds a canal, waterway, bulkhead, or dock, inside or outside the district's boundaries, that is necessary to, incidental to, or in aid of the navigation of inland water and a floodplain or wetlands regulation project, including the acquisition of necessary local, state, or federal permits, to the types of improvement projects the district may provide or contract with a governmental or private entity to provide. The bill removes the specification that property taxes imposed by the district be imposed in accordance with Local Government Code provisions governing municipal management districts in general. Senate Bill 2503 validates, ratifies, and confirms all governmental and proprietary actions of the Lake View Management and Development District taken before May 27, 2009, excluding matters in litigation or invalidated by a final court judgment.
