Mayordomo's
Handbook
The Taos Valley Acequia Association has
assembled a collection of papers and reports discussing those legal
issues important for Acequia management. We have assembled these
in a Mayordomo's Handbook available on-line, and soon to be published
in hard-copy as well.
Much of this material was
originally prepared by and for the New Mexico
Acequia Association and has been adapted, and in some cases brouht
up
to date, for Taos Valley Acequia use.
SB0336 provides for
tiered
financial reporting for all
governmental
subunits, including acequias, based
on the size of each
organization as determined by
annual revenue. This Act becomes effective July 1, 2010. A
financial impact report (FIR) for the companion bill, HB828, is
available here.
Any Acequia wanting to create or update your by-laws is welcome to use
the templates provided below. TVAA is ready to assist in this
effort; give us a call at 575-758-9461. Please provide us a copy
of your by-laws for our files.
