of the district be submitted to the voters of the district, the board
shall call the election.

the district the question of whether or not the district shall be
dissolved shall be held within 60 days following the date on which
the petition is filed.

petition, shall be published. The date fixed for the election shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of the first publication of
