‘Sec. 1. P&SL 1989, c. 51, §8, first sentence  is amended to read:
All the affairs of the district shall beare managed by an elected board of trustees composed of 3 members of the legal voters of the district. One trustee may be a municipal officer of the Town of St. Francis. A trustee who is also a municipal officer shall abstain from any vote of municipal officers on a question relating to compensation of the trustees pursuant to the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 35-A, section 6410, subsection 7.’

The amendment requires a trustee who is also a municipal officer to abstain from voting on the compensation of trustees. The amendment also corrects the name of the town in the bill title.
