from district, procedure.
Whenever a petition signed by the owners of at least 25% of
the land in a defined area located within an improvement district created
pursuant to K.S.A. 19-2753, and amendments thereto, is filed
with the county clerk of the county in which such improvement district is
located requesting the board of county commissioners to hold a public
hearing for the purpose of determining the advisability of detaching
from such district the area of land described in such petition, the
board of county
commissioners shall call and hold a public hearing within 30 days
after the filing of such petition. The board shall publish a notice of
such hearing at least once each week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper
of general
circulation in the county. The last publication shall be not
more than six days prior to the date fixed for the holding of the
hearing. Following such public hearing,
the board shall enter an order approving or rejecting the petition for
detachment.
The board of county commissioners shall enter an order detaching such land, if
the improvement district has not provided any services to such land within one
year preceding the date of the filing of such petition. Such order shall be
effective on January 1 of the succeeding year. Thereupon,
the board, by resolution, shall declare the new boundaries of the improvement
district and
shall certify a copy of such resolution to the
county clerk.
Any land detached from the improvement district shall be liable for its
proportionate share of all outstanding indebtedness of the improvement district
on the
date the resolution is passed by the board detaching the
territory.
