(a) The board of supervisors shall act upon the petition for formation in the same manner as set forth in W.S. 22-29-109 for county commissioners in determining if a petition for district formation shall be voted upon.
(b) If it appears upon the hearing that any land included in the petition will not be benefited by its inclusion within the proposed watershed improvement district, the board of supervisors shall exclude such land from the proposed watershed improvement district.
(c) If it appears upon the hearing that it may be desirable to include within the proposed watershed improvement district territory outside of the area described in the petition, the hearing shall be adjourned and due notice of a further hearing shall be given throughout the entire area considered for inclusion in the district, and a further hearing shall be held. After final hearing, if the board of supervisors determines, upon the facts presented at the hearing and upon other available information, that there is need, in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare for such a district to function in the territory considered at the hearing, it shall make and record such determination and shall define by metes and bounds or by legal subdivisions, the boundaries of the district. The board of supervisors, in making the determination, may advise and consult with the state conservation commission.
(d) If the board of supervisors determines after the hearing that there is no need for such a district to function in the territory considered at the hearing, it shall make and record such determination and shall deny the petition.
