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.
