Whenever a petition signed by the owners of at least 25% of the land in a defined area located within an improvement district created pursuant to K.S.A. 19-2753, and amendments thereto, is filed with the county clerk of the county in which such improvement district is located requesting the board of county commissioners to hold a public hearing for the purpose of determining the advisability of detaching from such district the area of land described in such petition, the board of county commissioners shall call and hold a public hearing within 30 days after the filing of such petition. The board shall publish a notice of such hearing at least once each week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the county. The last publication shall be not more than six days prior to the date fixed for the holding of the hearing. Following such public hearing, the board shall enter an order approving or rejecting the petition for detachment. The board of county commissioners shall enter an order detaching such land, if the improvement district has not provided any services to such land within one year preceding the date of the filing of such petition. Such order shall be effective on January 1 of the succeeding year. Thereupon, the board, by resolution, shall declare the new boundaries of the improvement district and shall certify a copy of such resolution to the county clerk.
Any land detached from the improvement district shall be liable for its proportionate share of all outstanding indebtedness of the improvement district on the date the resolution is passed by the board detaching the territory.
