After the organization of a cemetery maintenance district, additional territory adjoining such district, and lying within the same county may be added thereto and shall thereupon and thenceforth be included in such district, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified electors of such additional territory voting on the question at an election held therefor, which vote may be taken at an election held as provided in sections 27-106 and 34-106, Idaho Code. But such additional territory shall not be annexed to or be included within the district unless such annexation and inclusion be first approved by the cemetery maintenance board of the existing district by resolution entered on the minutes of such board prior to the election on the question of annexation. The same procedure, with such modifications in the form of petition, notices, ballots, etc., as may be necessary shall be adopted as in this law provided in sections 27-102 and 27-104–27-107, Idaho Code, inclusive: A petition signed by a majority of the owners of lands lying within the boundaries of the area proposed to be annexed such lands lying within the boundaries of any cemetery maintenance district heretofore created requesting the withdrawal and exclusion of lands described in said petition from such district and setting forth that the people residing upon said lands are not served by the cemetery or cemeteries within the boundaries of said district, that said people are served by other cemeteries within the county, and that the exclusion and withdrawal of said lands from said district will not reduce the market value for assessment purposes of the lands remaining in said district below five million dollars ($5,000,000), may be presented and filed with the board of county commissioners of the county within which said district is located. Upon the presentation and filing of such petition said board of county commissioners shall immediately fix a time and place for a hearing on said petition when and where any elector of said district may appear and be heard in support of or opposition to said petition. Notice of said hearing shall be given by said board by publication in one (1) issue of a newspaper of general circulation in said cemetery district at least ten (10) days prior to the date of said hearing and a copy of said notice shall be served by registered mail or personally on the president and secretary of the cemetery district commissioners. If after a hearing on said petition the board of county commissioners determines that the people residing upon the land sought to be withdrawn from such cemetery district are not served by the cemetery or cemeteries within such district, that said people are served by other cemeteries within the county, and that the exclusion and withdrawal of said lands from said district will not reduce the market value for assessment purposes of the lands remaining therein below five million dollars ($5,000,000), said commissioners shall make and enter such findings in the minutes of their meeting and make and enter an order authorizing and directing the withdrawal and exclusion of said lands from said cemetery district. Provided that the land so ordered to be withdrawn and excluded from said cemetery district be either annexed to an adjoining cemetery district which does serve said petitioners, or, if not served by an adjoining cemetery district, that said lands be included in the formation of a new cemetery district which does serve said petitioners.
A copy of such findings and order shall be served upon the president and secretary of the cemetery district commissioners, and county assessor, personally, or by registered mail. If the entry of such findings and order be made prior to the 4th Monday of June the lands annexed shall be excluded and withdrawn from the said cemetery district of which they were formerly a part and shall not be subject to assessment made and levied by said former district for the current fiscal year or subsequent years; provided, however, that such lands shall be subject to assessment made and levied for the current fiscal year and subsequent years by the new cemetery district of which they are made a part. If the entry of such findings and order be made subsequent to the 4th Monday of June the lands annexed shall be subject to assessment made and levied by the cemetery district of which they were formerly a part for the current fiscal year but shall thereafter be subject to assessment made and levied by the new cemetery district of which they are made a part. If said county commissioners do not find such facts they shall make and enter findings as to the facts which may exist and deny such petition. The costs in connection with giving the notices herein required shall be paid by petitioners.
