220.080 Boundary of proposed district -- Investigation -- Change -- Inclusion
of city property restricted.

When the petition is filed with the commissioner, he shall investigate at once
the boundary of the district proposed to be organized, and may, at the cost of
the petitioners, cause to be made surveys necessary to establish with
reasonable accuracy a boundary that will, in his judgment, accomplish the
purpose sought by the creation of the district in a practicable and workable
manner, and that will be sufficiently comprehensive to avoid confusion or
interference with any other similar district then existing or that may be created.
The boundary established by the commissioner need not follow the boundary
proposed by the petitioners, but if the boundary established by the
commissioner results in a material change from that proposed in the original
petition the petitioners shall secure, in case of a larger or smaller area, the
signatures of sixty percent (60%) of the freeholders or owners in the area as
established by the commissioner.
None of the provisions of KRS 220.010 to 220.520 shall be applicable within
the corporate boundary of any city of the first class, nor shall they be binding
upon such city or any part thereof, or any land or property within the boundary
of such city. The governing body of any city of the first class shall determine by
ordinance whether city property lying outside the corporate boundary shall be
included in any sanitation district, and whether the city shall bind itself to pay
the charges for the services of the district furnished to such land or property.
Should it be found desirable to include in a sanitation district all or a portion of
a city with a population equal to or greater than eight thousand (8,000) but less
than one hundred thousand (100,000) based upon the most recent federal
decennial census, the governing body of such city shall determine by
ordinance whether the city or portion thereof shall be included in the district, or
whether the city shall bind itself to pay the charges for the services of the
district furnished in such area.
