Within thirty (30) days after such petition has been filed with the board of
supervisors, it shall cause due notice to be given as provided in KRS 262.010(4) of
the hearing upon the practicability and feasibility of creating such subdistrict. All
interested parties shall have the right to attend such hearing and be heard. If it shall
appear at the hearing that other lands should be included or that lands included in
the petition should be excluded, the board of supervisors may permit such inclusion
or exclusion, provided the land area involved still meets the requirements of KRS
262.705.
If it appears upon the hearing that it may be desirable to include within the proposed
district, territory outside of the area within which due notice of the hearing has been
given, the hearing shall be adjourned and due notice of a further hearing shall be
given throughout the entire area considered for inclusion in the district and a further
hearing shall be held. After final hearing, if the board of supervisors determines,
upon the facts presented at the hearing and upon other available information, that
there is need, in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare for such a
district to function in the territory considered, it shall make and record the
determination and shall define, by metes and bounds, or by recognizable terrain
features and description, the boundaries of the watershed district.
If the board determines after the hearing that it is not feasible for such district to
function in the territory considered, it shall make and record the determination and
shall deny the petition.
If the board determines that there is a need for a conservancy district, the board of
supervisors shall establish a proposed maximum budget for the maintenance of the
proposed conservancy district, to be funded either by millage or flat rate sufficient
to meet the budget.
