22-29-301. Enlargement petitions.
(a) When any voters or landowners of an area wish to join a district, they may file an enlargement petition with the county commissioners. Unless otherwise provided under this subsection, the petition for enlargement may include provisions allowing the board of district directors to be enlarged by one (1) or more positions to be filled by voters residing or located in the new area, the number of positions to be determined by the petitioners and the district directors of the existing district. Before the petition is filed with the county commissioners, it shall be approved by the directors of the affected district and by any other agency also required by the principal act to approve the petition. The petition process shall be governed by W.S. 22-29-105 through 22-29-108. An election need not be held on an enlargement petition if the petition alleges and the county commissioners find:
(i) All landowners and all voters, if any, within the new area and the board of directors of the district agree to the inclusion of the new area within the district.
(ii) Repealed by Laws 2008, Ch. 22, § 2.
(b) W.S. 22-29-109 applies to the proceeding conducted by the county commissioners and the rights, powers and duties of petitioners and other persons having an interest in the proceedings. The county commissioners shall approve or disapprove the enlargement petition.
(c) Except as provided under subsection (a) of this section, if the enlargement petition is approved, there shall be an election which shall be conducted under this act. At the enlargement election, there shall also be elected temporary directors whose terms shall expire at the next regular district director election. At the first regular election following the enlargement election, the total number of directors shall be as stated in the principal act.
