A. If it becomes apparent that a certain area included within a district cannot be economically or adequately served by the services and facilities of the district, or no longer needs such services or facilities, the residents of such area may petition the county commissioners to release the area from the district. The petition shall describe by section or fraction thereof and by township and range the area affected and be signed by all three-fourths (3/4) of the residents of such area and be endorsed by the board of directors of the district.
B. After a finding that the granting of the petition is to the best interests of the affected residents and the district, the board of county commissioners shall issue a certificate stating that the area involved is released and separated from the district. Full minutes of the hearing shall be entered in the journal of the board of county commissioners and the certificate shall be delivered to the secretary of the district who shall, within thirty (30) days, cause the records of the district to be amended to exclude the area affected.
