The board of county commissioners shall then designate as the first board of directors of the district the five (5) trustees of the sanitary and improvement district, each of which shall serve as a director until the expiration of his term as trustee and until a successor is elected at the next subsequent director election pursuant to W.S. 22-29-112. At the next subsequent director election following organization of the district directors shall be elected for staggered terms as provided by W.S. 41-10-112(b).

The validity of the organization may not be questioned directly or indirectly in any suit, action or proceeding except as provided in the Special District Elections Act of 1994. After entry of the resolution, the district shall comply with W.S. 41-10-108 through 41-10-110 and all other relevant provisions of this act.
