(1) Whenever it is desired to construct
improvements wholly within or partly within and partly without any district
organized under articles 1 to 8 of this title, which improvements will affect only a
part of said district, for the purpose of accomplishing such work, subdistricts may
be organized upon petition of the owners of real property, within or partly within
and partly without the district, which petition shall fulfill the same requirements
concerning the subdistricts as the petition outlined in section 37-2-102 is required
to fulfill concerning the organization of the main district and shall be filed with the
clerk of the district court and shall be accompanied by a bond as provided for in
section 37-2-103. All proceedings relating to the organization of such subdistricts
shall conform in all things to the provisions of said articles relating to the
organization of districts. Whenever the court by its order duly entered of record
declares and decrees the subdistricts to be organized, the clerk of said court shall
thereupon give notice of such order to the directors of the district, who shall
thereupon act also as directors of the subdistrict. Thereafter, the proceedings in
reference to the subdistrict shall in all matters conform to the provisions of said
articles; except that, in the appraisal of benefits and damages for the purposes of
such subdistricts, in the issuance of bonds, in the levying of assessments, and in all
other matters affecting only the subdistrict, the provisions of said articles shall
apply to the subdistrict as though it were an independent district, and it shall not, in
these things, be amalgamated with the main district.

(2) The board of directors, board of appraisers, chief engineer, attorney,
secretary, and other officers, agents, and employees of the district shall, insofar as
it may be necessary, serve in the same capacities for such subdistrict, and
contracts and agreements between the main district and subdistrict may be made
in the same manner as contracts and agreements between two districts. The
distribution of administration expense between the main district and subdistrict
shall be in proportion to the interests involved and the amount of service rendered,
such division to be made by the board of directors with the right of appeal to the
court establishing the district. This section shall not be held to prevent the
organization of independent districts for local improvements under other laws
within the limits of a district organized under articles 1 to 8 of this title.
