§ 6070 District Safety Regulations

This law lets the board make any rules it needs to run the district safely, especially rules that protect people and their stuff at district buildings, on district waters, and on nearby district land, unless Section 660 says something different.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board can create any ordinance it thinks is needed for the district.
  • •Rules can cover safety of people and property at district facilities, on district waters, and on nearby district land.
  • •Section 660 may limit this power, so the board must follow that section if it says otherwise.

Example

The board decides that anyone swimming in the district’s lake must wear a life jacket.

Because the board can pass safety rules for district waters, they can require life jackets to keep swimmers safe.
