SECTION 27080-27083

27080. If, within 120 days after application is made to it the
board of supervisors of any county named in the petitions from other
counties engaged in the formation of the district fails to adopt an
ordinance of intention to unite with the other counties in the
formation of the district, and no proceedings for the adoption of an
ordinance under the provisions of law relating to the initiative are
on file with the county elections official, the county elections
official shall upon receipt of an affidavit of an elector of the
county, setting forth: (a) The date the original application was made
to the board of supervisors and (b) the failure of that body to act
thereon for 60 days thereafter, issue a certificate to the Secretary
of State certifying that on the date of the issuing thereof no
proceedings have been filed in his or her office to submit an
ordinance to the electors under the provisions applicable to the
initiative. The county elections official shall immediately transmit
the certificate and affidavit to the Secretary of State.

27081. The Secretary of State shall file the affidavit with the
certificate attached and he shall exclude the county from which the
affidavit and certificate have been received from the proposed
district in the same manner as if the county had been excluded by
order of the superior court.

27082. If an ordinance declaring it to be the intention of a county
to become part of the district has been submitted to the people and
has failed to be adopted, that fact shall be certified to the
Secretary of State by the county elections official, and that county
shall be excluded from the district.

27083. If a county which is excluded because no ordinance of
intention is adopted by it, separates another county, from which
sufficient petitions have been received to become a part of the
district, from the remainder of the counties of the proposed
district, the county thus separated shall not be excluded from the
district but shall be included therein even though it is not
contiguous to the other counties composing the district.
