Such board of county commissioners shall by written resolution
unanimously adopted find that the acquisition of such site or sites is
necessary and shall set out therein the location of the site or sites, the
improvements to be made thereon, if any, and the total amount of bonds
proposed to be issued. The resolution shall be published for three
consecutive weeks in the official county paper. In the event a protest
petition is signed by not less than five percent (5%) of the qualified
voters of the county, as determined by the vote for secretary of state at
the last general election, and is filed with the county clerk within thirty
(30) days following the last publication of said resolution, it shall be
the duty of the board of county commissioners of such counties to submit
the question of acquiring such sites and making such improvements, if any,
and paying for the cost thereof by the issuance of bonds to the voters of
such counties at an election called for such purpose or at the next general
election. If no such protest petition is filed within the time limitation
contained herein, the board of county commissioners may proceed as
authorized by this act. If an election is held pursuant to a protest
petition and a majority vote is cast in favor of the proposition, the board
of county commissioners shall have authority to proceed under this act.
