48-1206. Establishment of community park
maintenance district; denial of petition; costs
A. Following the hearing, if it appears after consideration of all objections that
the petition is signed by the requisite numbers of registered voters, that the proposed
maintenance and operating program for community parks within the district is necessary
and that the public health, comfort, convenience, necessity or welfare will be promoted
by establishment of the district, the boards of supervisors, by formal order, shall
declare its findings, establish the boundaries and declare the district organized under a
corporate name by which it shall be known in all proceedings. The boards of supervisors
shall eliminate any territory described in the petition which it finds will not be
benefited by establishment of the district. After the formal order of establishment the
district is a body corporate with the powers of a municipal corporation for the purposes
of carrying out the provisions of this article.
B. If the district is established, certified bills covering the costs of the boards
of supervisors and the disbursements of the petitioners shall be presented to the board
of directors of the district and paid from funds of the district. If the boards of
supervisors find that the territory described in the petition should not be incorporated
into a community park maintenance district, the boards shall dismiss the proceedings and
may collect the costs on the bond of the petitioners.
