§ 10053 Special Utility Sale Election

• •The election notice must state the purpose of the sale and how the proceeds will be spent.
• •It must describe how the election will be held and how to vote for or against the sale.
• •Any details not covered in the notice follow the usual municipal election laws.

The town wants to sell its water system to raise money for fixing potholes. The city council issues a special election notice that says the sale is to fund road repairs, describes the voting process, and tells residents how to vote yes or no.

Because the notice includes the reason for the sale, the planned use of the money, and the voting method, the town follows the law. If any detail was missing, the regular city election rules would automatically apply.
