When a petition for annexation of territory to a district is filed with the
commissioner, he shall investigate at once the boundary of the territory
proposed to be annexed, and may, at the cost of the district, cause to be made
surveys necessary to establish with reasonable accuracy a boundary that will,
in his judgment, accomplish the purpose sought by annexation of the territory
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 district.
Should it be found desirable to include in the territory to be annexed by a
district all or a portion of a city of the home rule class, 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.
When the boundaries of the territory proposed to be annexed have been fixed
by the commissioner as prescribed in subsection (1) of this section, he shall
give notice of the application for annexation of the territory by publication
pursuant to KRS Chapter 424.
If a multicounty district proposes to annex the unincorporated territory of
another contiguous county, and the fiscal court of the contiguous county
expresses by resolution its approval of the annexation, then the commissioner
shall accept the boundaries of the proposed annexation.
