Sec. 36. (a) If a majority of those voting in a special election vote under section 35 of this chapter for the extension of park and recreation services, then at the beginning of the next fiscal year the area becomes part of the district of the department.
(b) At the time the area becomes part of the district, the circuit judge of the county shall appoint a member from the area to the board. The member shall be appointed with the same qualifications and for the same term as other members and has the same powers and duties. If the petition of more than one (1) area is approved, the circuit judge shall make the selection of members so as to maintain the bipartisan character of the board as far as possible. As each additional member is appointed, the quorum of the board is increased by one (1).
(c) The board has the same powers and duties to provide park and recreation service to the area as it has for the municipality, and this chapter applies as fully to the area to which service is extended as it applies to a municipality. However, the board need not provide service to the area before revenues from the area are available.
