(1) A name for the proposed district that distinguishes the district from all other political subdivisions within or contiguous to the area included within the district.

(3) A statement of the purposes for which the district is proposed to be established.
(4) A statement of the necessity and urgency of accomplishing the purposes.
(5) A statement that the creation of the district will be conducive to the public health, safety, or welfare, including a summary of the advantages to be derived from the creation of the district.
(6) A statement that the costs and damages of the district will probably be less than the benefits to be derived.
