At the hearing, all interested persons shall be given the opportunity to present evidence and testimony for or against the proposed annexation. Any person who has filed a written protest may withdraw the written protest at any time prior to the conclusion of the hearing.

(b) Approving the proposed annexation. (c) Approving the annexation, but excluding any lands which the board finds will not be benefited by becoming a part of such improvement area. 25210.86.

Upon such filing, the annexation of the territory to the improvement area shall be effective. 25210.9d. The board of supervisors, in its capacity as the governing authority of a county service area, may contract with any state or federal agency to finance any improvements relating to any extended services or miscellaneous extended services that the county service area is authorized to provide. If the contract obligates the county service area to repay all or part of any amount so financed, the board may dedicate to the repayment of that debt all or part of the revenue from revenue sources of the county service area established for the support of the authorized service to which the improvement relates.
