If the district is created and the four (4) counties do become permanent members and levy the tax outlined in Section 55-19-7, the board of directors of the district shall find and adjudicate, and its minutes shall so reflect, that the board of supervisors of each of the four-member counties has fully complied with the provisions of its duties under this chapter which include but are not limited to conducting the election, finding that it favored creating the district, levying an ad valorem tax, and appointing a member to the board of directors from each county. The minutes ratifying the organization of the district shall conclude by adjudicating that all lawful requisites have been done and performed to creating the Bienville Recreational District, and it shall be so declared to be an agency of the State of Mississippi and a body politic and corporate as of the date of said minutes to the extent and with the full force and effect as an arm of state government as if it had been created directly by the legislature.
