construction, installation, operation, or maintenance of improvements or the
provision of services authorized by this part 5. The governing body of a county may

board of its intent to exclude such territory, such exclusion shall take effect

indebtedness or bonds that are outstanding on the date of such exclusion.

municipality shall be ex officio the presiding officer of the board, the clerk of the
municipality shall be ex officio the secretary of the board, and the treasurer of the
municipality shall be ex officio the treasurer of the board and district.
