                                  TITLE  67
                      STATE GOVERNMENT AND STATE AFFAIRS
                                  CHAPTER 49
                             AUDITORIUM DISTRICTS
    67-4904.  PETITION -- CONTENTS -- AMENDMENTS. The organization of a
district shall be initiated by a petition filed in the office of the clerk of
the court vested  with jurisdiction, in a county in which the major part of
the real property in the proposed district is situated. The petition shall be
signed by not less than ten percent (10%) of the qualified electors who reside
within the boundaries of the proposed district, and not less than ten (10) of
whom shall reside in each election precinct which is wholly or partially
within the boundaries of any such proposed district.
    The petition shall set forth:
    (1)  The name of the proposed district consisting of a chosen name
preceding the words, "auditorium or community center district."
    (2)  A general description of the facilities to be constructed and any
marketing programs for such facilities within and for the district.
    (3)  The estimated cost of the proposed facilities and any marketing
programs for such facilities and the estimated annual budget for the proposed
district.
    (4)  The maximum tax rate that the board will be authorized to levy or
impose.
    (5)  A general description of the boundaries of the district or the
territory to be included therein, with such certainty as to enable a property
owner to determine whether or not his property is within the district.
    (6)  A prayer for the organization of the district.
    No petition with the requisite signatures shall be declared null and void
on account of alleged clerical errors or nonmaterial errors in the description
of the territory, but the court may at any time permit the petition to be
amended to conform to the facts by correcting any clerical or nonmaterial
errors in the description of the territory, or in any other particular.
Similar petitions or duplicate copies of the same petition for the
organization of the same district may be filed and shall together be regarded
as one (1) petition. All such petitions filed prior to the hearing on the
first petition filed, shall be considered by the court the same as though
filed with the first petition placed on file.
