§ 50592 District Formation Approval Process

After the filing of the report, the clerk shall present it to the legislative body for consideration. The legislative body may approve, amend, alter, modify or correct the report or may direct changes to be made therein. When the report has been approved by the legislative body, it may fix a time and place for hearing objections to the proposed formation of the district or to the report and may adopt an ordinance declaring its intention to form the district. The report shall thereafter be open to inspection in the office of the clerk until the public hearing. (Added by Stats. 1965, Ch. 1503.)
