§ 37-41-120. Fiscal Year - Directors to Fix Levy

The fiscal year of each irrigation district in this state shall commence on January 1 in each year. It is the duty of the board of directors on or before October 15 in each year to determine the amount of money required to meet the maintenance, operating, and current expenses for the ensuing fiscal year and to certify by resolution to the board of county commissioners of the county in which the office of the district is located said amount, together with any additional amount which may be necessary to meet any deficiency in the payment of said expenses theretofore incurred. The board of directors may fix the amount payable for any tract containing one acre or less and, if so, similarly shall certify this amount to the board of county commissioners. The board of directors shall also fix the amount payable by each tract within any district with which the United States has made a contract and shall certify the same to the board of county commissioners, and the amount so fixed shall be in accordance with the federal reclamation laws and the public notices, orders, and regulations issued thereunder and shall be in compliance with any contracts made by the United States with any owners of said lands and in compliance further with the contracts between the district and the United States. The obligation of every irrigation district contracting with the United States shall be deemed a district debt. Said resolution shall be termed the annual appropriation resolution for the next fiscal year, and no expenditure to be paid out of such fund shall exceed in any one year the amounts fixed for such expenses in the annual appropriation resolution, except as provided in section 37-41-129.
