19-3605. Same; inclusion of cities within district; procedure.
If the governing body of any city of the first, second or third classes,
lying within the boundaries of any proposed or organized fire district
shall deem it advisable to be included within the territory of any fire
district, such city or cities may be included within such district at the
time of its organization or any time subsequent thereto as follows: The
governing body thereof shall, not less than twenty (20) days prior to some
regular meeting day, publish a notice (as in the case of publishing
ordinances) of its intention to petition the board of county commissioners
that all or a part of said city be made a part of or be included within any
proposed or organized fire district in the county and of a hearing on said
proposal at such meeting. At such meeting, or any adjournment thereof, the
said governing body may adopt a resolution directed to the board of county
commissioners praying that all or part of the city be included within or
added to the fire district, and said petition may be heard by the board of
county commissioners at any meeting thereof. After such hearing the board
of county commissioners may make its order as in the case of the
organization of a new district or the alteration and modification of the
boundaries of an existing district.
