There was an  internal inconsistency in the July 13^th Order that was prepared by legal counsel and this one corrects that to provide that the election will be by place.  The amended and corrected order below aligns with the district's regular Board election processes, which allows for voting by position. The order below is a corrected version to the first order the Board adopted; this was also prepared by legal counsel.

The district facility use fee schedule for rentals needs approval. If the Board would like to exempt entities from fees, please include that in the motion.
