        357A.18  HEARING.         Upon the filing with the auditor of a petition under either      section 357A.16 or section 357A.17, the auditor shall so inform the      supervisors who shall fix a time for consideration of the petition.      The supervisors may, but shall not be required to, hold a hearing      thereon.  After consideration of the petition, and after the hearing      if one is held, the supervisors shall ascertain whether:         1.  The petition meets all of the requirements prescribed by      section 357A.16 or section 357A.17 for either such petition.         2.  It appears from all information available to the supervisors      that each allegation included in the petition is factual.         If the supervisors' finding on each of the foregoing points is      positive, it shall declare the real property described in the      petition detached from the district, or declare the district      dissolved, as the case may be.  The supervisors shall notify the      secretary of the district of its action, and the secretary shall      amend the records of the district to show that the real property      described in the petition has been detached from the district, or      shall within thirty days deliver to the auditor all records, maps,      plans, and files of the district dissolved.
