20-15-209. Determination of approval or disapproval of proposition -- subsequent procedures if approved. (1) To carry, the proposal to organize the community college district must receive a majority of the total number of votes cast thereon, and the coordinator of community college districts, from the results so certified and attested, shall determine whether the proposal has received the majority of the votes cast thereon for each county within the proposed district and shall certify the results to the regents. Approval for the organization of a new community college district shall be granted at the discretion of the legislature acting upon the recommendation of the regents. Should the certificate of the coordinator of community college districts show that the proposition to organize such community college district has received a majority of the votes cast thereon in each county within the proposed district, the regents may make an order declaring the community college district organized and cause a copy thereof to be recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder in each county in which a portion of such new district is located. If the proposition carries, the regents also shall determine which candidates have been elected trustees. Should the proposition to organize the community college district fail to receive a majority of the votes cast thereon, no tabulation shall be made to determine the candidates elected trustees.
     (2) Within 30 days of the date of the organization order, the regents shall set a date and call an organization meeting for the board of trustees of the community college district and shall notify the duly elected trustees of their membership and of the organization meeting. Such notification shall designate a temporary chairman and secretary for the purposes of organization.
