After the public hearing, the county legislative
authority may adopt a resolution submitting the question of
creating the lake or beach management district to the owners of
land within the proposed lake or beach management district,
including publicly owned land, if the county legislative
authority finds that it is in the public interest to create the
lake or beach management district and the financing of the lake
or beach improvement and maintenance activities is feasible. The
resolution shall also include: (1) A plan describing the
proposed lake or beach improvement and maintenance activities
which avoid adverse impacts on fish and wildlife and provide for
appropriate measures to protect and enhance fish and wildlife;
(2) the number of years the lake or beach management district
will exist; (3) the amount to be raised by special assessments or
rates and charges; (4) if special assessments are to be imposed,
whether the special assessments shall be imposed annually for the
duration of the lake or beach management district or only once
with the possibility of installments being imposed and lake or
beach management bonds being issued, or both, and, if both types
of special assessments are proposed to be imposed, the lake or
beach improvement or maintenance activities proposed to be
financed by each type of special assessment; (5) if rates and
charges are to be imposed, a description of the rates and charges
and the possibility of revenue bonds being issued that are
payable from the rates and charges; and (6) the estimated special
assessment or rate and charge proposed to be imposed on each
parcel included in the proposed lake or beach management
district.
No lake or beach management district may be created by a
county that includes territory located in another county without
the approval of the legislative authority of the other county.
