Text

(a) The board of supervisors shall act upon the petition
for formation in the same manner as set forth in W.S. 22-29-109
for county commissioners in determining if a petition for
district formation shall be voted upon.
(b) If it appears upon the hearing that any land included
in the petition will not be benefited by its inclusion within
the proposed watershed improvement district, the board of
supervisors shall exclude such land from the proposed watershed
improvement district.
(c) If it appears upon the hearing that it may be
desirable to include within the proposed watershed improvement
district territory outside of the area described in the
petition, the hearing shall be adjourned and due notice of a
further hearing shall be given throughout the entire area
considered for inclusion in the district, and a further hearing
shall be held. After final hearing, if the board of supervisors
determines, upon the facts presented at the hearing and upon
other available information, that there is need, in the interest
of the public health, safety and welfare for such a district to
function in the territory considered at the hearing, it shall
make and record such determination and shall define by metes and
bounds or by legal subdivisions, the boundaries of the district.
The board of supervisors, in making the determination, may
advise and consult with the state conservation commission.
(d) If the board of supervisors determines after the
hearing that there is no need for such a district to function in
the territory considered at the hearing, it shall make and
record such determination and shall deny the petition.
