Annexation of territory
Official statutory text
Upon the filing of a petition with the board of county
commissioners for a change of boundary lines of any sewer
improvement district signed by a majority of the holders of title to
lands of the area proposed to be annexed to an adjacent sewer
improvement district, the board of county commissioners shall cause
notice to be published one time in some newspaper printed and
published in the county and of general circulation in the area
sought to be annexed at least ten (10) days before the time at which
such petition will be considered. Such notice shall state the time
and place when and where the petition will be considered by the
board of county commissioners, a brief substance of the petition,
and that all persons interested may appear and be heard. The board
of county commissioners shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear
and determine all contests and objections pertaining to such
annexation, and at the time set for hearing the board may amend the
plan of annexation by excluding from within its boundaries lands
which it may deem will not be benefited by annexation to such sewer
improvement district. At such hearing the board shall also
determine whether or not the annexation of such area to such sewer
improvement district will be to the best interests of the holders of
title of the area affected, or conducive or beneficial to the public
health of said area as now exists or to be developed and if said
board determines that it will, then it shall make an order annexing
such area to said improvement district, and such territory for all
purposes shall thereafter be a part of such sewer improvement
district. The annexed territory shall assume its full proportion of
all legal indebtedness outstanding against the original sewer
improvement district, including bonded indebtedness.
