262.120 Referendum on creation of district.
After the commission has made and recorded a determination that there is need, in
the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, for the organization of a district
in a particular territory and has defined the boundaries of that district, it shall
consider the question whether the operation of a district within those boundaries with
the powers conferred upon districts in this chapter is administratively practicable and
feasible. To assist the commission in the determination of administrative
practicability and feasibility, the commission shall, within a reasonable time after
entry of the finding that there is need for the organization of the district and the
determination of the boundaries of the district, hold a referendum within the
proposed district upon the proposition of the creation of the district, and cause due
notice of the referendum to be given. The question shall be submitted to the voters
in the following form: "For creation of a soil conservation district of the lands below
described and lying in the County (or Counties) of ...., ...., and ...." and "Against
creation of a soil conservation district of the lands below described and lying in the
County (or Counties) of ...., and ....." The voter shall be instructed to vote "yes" for
one or the other of the propositions, as the voter may favor or oppose creation of the
district. The boundaries of the proposed district as determined by the commission
shall be set forth. Only owners of lands lying within the boundaries of the territory, as
determined by the commission, shall be eligible to vote in the referendum.
