48-2953. Concurrent exclusion and inclusion of
land
A. When a petition is filed for the exclusion of lands from a district and the
board of directors is satisfied that the lands to be excluded are sterile, alkaline or
for any reason unfit for profitable cultivation and not worth in productiveness the
amount of the annual tax normally assessed against such land, and there are pending
petitions for the inclusion of a like quantity of good agricultural land which may be
included without detriment to the lands previously included in the district and without
decreasing the water rights or any other rights and privileges of land previously
included, the land in the district subject to the petition for exclusion may be excluded
and the new land included by concurrent action of the board.
B. The unfertile and unsuitable land excluded may be released from such obligations
of the district as the board deems advisable, and the obligations previously attached
thereto may by action of the board be attached to the lands included in the district in
lieu thereof, in order that the securities of the district shall not be decreased by such
exclusion and inclusion.
C. A certified copy of such proceedings of the board shall be recorded in the
office of the county recorder in each county in which the district is located.
