SECTION 27281-27284




27281.  If the city to which any territory included in any district
has been annexed already provides transit service in the territory
annexed, or if any territory in any district is annexed to a city,
not a part of any district as originally established pursuant to this
part, and not annexed thereto pursuant to this part, the city
council or other governing body of the city may petition the district
for the exclusion of such territory from the district.



27282.  The petition shall contain the information prescribed for
petitions for exclusion under Article 1 of this chapter, a deposit
for expenses shall be made as therein provided, and thereafter all
proceedings shall be had as provided therein for such petitions after
filing.



27283.  If an order of exclusion is granted, the board and the
governing body of the city shall by contract provide for the payment
by the city of the proportion of the taxes and bonded indebtedness
for which the territory excluded is justly liable. If they do not
agree, either may petition the superior court in and for the county
in which the property is located for a judgment declaring the
proportion of the taxes and bonded indebtedness for which the
territory excluded is justly liable. The proceeding shall be governed
by the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure relating to
declaratory relief.



27284.  The order of exclusion does not invalidate in any manner any
taxes or assessments theretofore levied or assessed against the
lands excluded nor relieve the property excluded from any outstanding
bonds which are a lien thereon at the time of exclusion, nor from
any taxes to pay the principal or interest thereof.
