60090. At or before the time set for the hearing of protests, any person interested may file a written protest with the clerk stating that he objects to: (a) The formation of the district. (b) The extent of the district. (c) The proposed improvement, or to the acquisition, construction, or operation of the proposed utility, or to the special local service. (d) The inclusion of his property in the district. 60091. The clerk shall endorse on each protest the date he received it. At the time appointed for the hearing of protests, he shall present to the legislative body all protests so filed with him. 60092. The legislative body shall hear the protests at the time appointed, or at any time to which the hearing is adjourned, and pass upon them. Its decision on the protests is final. 60093. If any protest against the proposed improvement, or against the acquisition, construction, or operation of the utility, or against the special local service is sustained, no further proceedings shall be had pursuant to the petition, but a new petition to the same or a similar purpose may be filed after six months from the date the protest was sustained. 60094. If any protest is against the extent of, or against the inclusion of property in, the district, the legislative body may make such changes in the boundaries of the district as it finds proper and advisable, and it shall define and establish such boundaries. The legislative body shall not modify the boundaries so as to include any territory which will not, in its judgment, be benefited by the improvement, utility, or special local service. 60095. The legislative body shall not modify boundaries except after notice of its intention so to do. It shall give notice by one insertion in a newspaper described in Section 60063 or, in a city where no such newspaper is published, by posting in three public places. The notice shall describe the proposed modification and specify a time for hearing objections to the modification, which time shall be at least 10 days after the publication of notice. 60096. At or before the time set for such hearing, any interested person may file a written objection to the proposed modification of boundaries with the clerk. 60097. The legislative body shall hear and pass upon the objections at the time appointed, or at any time to which the hearing is adjourned. Its decision on a protest is final. If any objection is sustained, no further proceedings pursuant to the petition shall be taken, but a new petition for the same or a similar purpose may be filed after six months from the date the protest was sustained. 60098. If no protests or objections to a modification of boundaries are filed at the expiration of the time for filing, or if protests or objections have been filed and are denied or overruled after hearing, the legislative body acquires jurisdiction to proceed pursuant to this chapter.
