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.
