357E.5 HEARING OF PETITION -- ACTION BY BOARD. At the public hearing required in section 357E.3, the board of supervisors may consider the boundaries of a proposed district, whether the boundaries shall be as described in the petition or otherwise, and for that purpose may amend the petition and change the boundaries of the proposed district as stated in the petition. The supervisors may adjust the boundaries of a proposed district as needed to exclude land that has no reasonable likelihood of benefit from inclusion in the proposed district. However, the boundaries of a proposed district shall not be changed to incorporate property which is not included in the original petition. After, and within ten days of, the hearing, the board of supervisors shall establish the district by resolution or disallow the petition.          Section History: Recent Form 88 Acts, ch 1194, §5
