§ 55-9-27. Procedure for formation of recreational district.
 

Any such political subdivision desiring to either form alone or in conjunction with others any recreational district, or to become a part thereof, may do so by its governing board adopting a resolution declaring its intention to either form or become a part of such recreational district. Such resolution shall be published once a week for at least three (3) consecutive weeks in at least one (1) newspaper having general circulation in the political subdivision. The first publication of such resolution shall be made not less than twenty-one (21) days prior to the date fixed in such resolution for hearing objections thereto, and the last publication shall be made not more than seven (7) days prior to such date. If twenty percent (20%) or fifteen hundred (1500), whichever is least, of the qualified electors of the political subdivision shall file a written protest against such political subdivision forming or becoming a part of such recreational district on or before the date specified in such resolution, then an election on the question shall be called and held as provided by law on bond issue questions. If no such protest be filed, then such political subdivision may either form or become a part of such recreational district.
