board, or upon its own motion following the notice the board of
supervisors deems sufficient and a public hearing, the board of
supervisors, may, with the concurrence of the district board, add to,
or delete from, the list of pests which the district may control.
The board of supervisors at the hearing may also consider, and make
changes in, the method of district taxation, as authorized by Section
