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. The county election administrator shall determine whether the proposal has received the majority of the votes cast 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 must be granted at the discretion of the legislature acting on the recommendation of the regents. If the certificate of the election shows that the proposition to organize the community college district has received a majority of the votes cast in each county within the proposed district, the regents may make an order declaring the community college district organized and cause a copy of the order to be recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder in each county in which a portion of the new district is located. If the proposition carries, the county election administrator shall determine which candidates have been elected trustees. If the proposition to organize the community college district fails to receive a majority of the votes cast, a tabulation may not 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 elected trustees of their membership and of the organization meeting. The notification must designate a temporary presiding officer and secretary for the purposes of organization.
