(a) Any fire district may be disorganized by the board of county
commissioners at any time after four years from the date of the
publication of the final resolution for the first organization of such
district upon a petition to the board and the making of an order in like
manner as in the case of organizing any fire district under K.S.A.
19-3603, and amendments thereto.
(b) Subject to the provisions of K.S.A. 19-270, the territory of any
organized fire district may be subsequently
altered by the inclusion of new lands or by the exclusion of lands therein
upon a petition to the board of county commissioners signed by the owners
of at least 10% of the area of the lands sought to be
included or excluded, which petition shall conform, as near as may be
possible, to the petition required for the organization of a fire district.
If the board of county commissioners finds
the petition is
sufficient, the board may adopt and publish a resolution attaching or
detaching the lands described in the petition to or from the fire
district. The resolution shall be published once each
week for two
consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the area where
the lands are located. Such publication shall include a map showing the
territory of the district and the lands proposed to be attached to or
detached therefrom. If within 30 days after the last publication
of the resolution and map, a petition protesting the inclusion or
detachment of such lands, signed by the owners, whether residents of the
county or not, of more than 19% of
the area of the lands
sought to be included in or excluded from the fire district is filed with
the county clerk, the resolution shall have no force or
effect. If
such a protest petition shall not be filed within such time, the
resolution shall become final, and the lands shall thereupon be deemed
attached to or detached from the fire district. In any case where lands
are included in or excluded from a fire district as provided herein, the
board shall declare the new boundary of the district by the adoption
and publication of a resolution in like manner as the boundaries were
declared at the time of the original organization thereof.
