(1) The governing body of a
municipality is hereby vested with jurisdiction, power, and authority to establish
districts within the municipality in which the improvement is to be acquired,
constructed, installed, operated, or maintained or the service is to be provided. The
governing body of a municipality may establish a district partially within the
boundaries of any other municipality or within the unincorporated territory of a
county if such municipality or county consents by resolution to the establishment of
such district. No such district may provide the same improvement or service as an
existing special district within the territory of such existing special district unless
the existing special district consents.

(2) If a municipality other than the municipality that established the district
annexes or incorporates any territory within an established district, such territory
shall remain in the district unless the municipality notifies the district's board of the
municipality's intent to exclude the territory annexed or incorporated from the
district. If the municipality notifies the board of its intent to exclude such territory,
such exclusion shall take effect January 1 of the year following such notice. Any
property excluded from the district under this subsection (2) shall remain subject to
payment of its share of any indebtedness or bonds that are outstanding on the date
of such exclusion.
