SECTION 27320-27325




27320.  Any county or any portion thereof may be added to the
district at any time, in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter by resolution of the board upon request of the board of
supervisors of the county by an ordinance applying for permission for
the county or portion thereof to become a part of the district.




27321.  If the annexation of any county or portion thereof is
proposed to any district already organized the board shall prescribe
the terms upon which the territory proposed to be annexed shall be
admitted, including the payment of a just proportion of the
organization and preliminary expenses originally incurred by the
district. No county or portion thereof shall be annexed without first
complying with those terms.



27322.  If the board consents to the annexation after any bonded
debt of this district has been authorized, the board of supervisors
so applying for annexation shall call an election at which the
proposition to join the district and assume the obligation of the
bonds of the district along with the territory already included
therein, shall be submitted to the electors of the county or portion
thereof as one proposition. Unless the proposition receives
two-thirds of the votes cast at the election the county or part
thereof shall not be annexed to the district. If the proposition
carries by two-thirds or more of the votes cast at the election the
result of the election shall be certified to the Secretary of State
by the county elections official and thereupon the Secretary of State
shall give notice and call for protests in the same manner as upon
the original incorporation of the district.



27323.  If the district has not incurred a bonded indebtedness at
the time of the application by the board of supervisors to join the
district, the county or part thereof may be annexed if the board of
supervisors passes an ordinance declaring its intention to join the
district and upon petition presented in the manner provided in this
part for the organization of the district. The petition shall be
presented to the Secretary of State, who shall give notice of the
presentation thereof, and of the date set for receiving protests
against the annexation in the same manner as for original petitions,
and all of the provisions of this part which are applicable to
original petitions shall be applicable to petitions for annexations.




27324.  After all protests have been disposed of in the same manner
as protests upon the incorporation of the district, the Secretary of
State shall issue his certificate certifying to the annexation and
describing the boundaries of the district as finally determined,
which certificate shall be recorded in the office of the county
recorder of each county wherein any portion of the annexed territory
is located, and thereupon the boards of supervisors of the county
shall appoint a member or members of the board to serve until the
expiration of the term of the directors then holding for the term of
office that will soonest expire.


27325.  Upon the issuance of the certificate of annexation by the
Secretary of State the territory named therein shall become a part of
the district.
