46A-4-57. Rejection of petition for change of boundaries of irrigation district by board of directors--Resolution of board ordering change of boundaries, contents. The board of directors, if it deems it not for the best interests of the district that a change of its boundaries be so made as to include therein the lands mentioned in the petition, shall order that the petition be rejected. But if it deems it for the best interest of the district that the boundaries of the district be changed and if no person interested in the proposed change of its boundaries shows cause in writing why the proposed change should not be made, or if having shown cause, withdraws the same, or if having shown cause shall not withdraw the same and the board of directors deems it for the best interests of the district that the boundaries thereof be so changed, the board shall by resolution order that the boundaries of the district be so changed as to include therein the lands mentioned in the petition, or some part thereof. The resolution shall describe the exterior boundaries of the lands which the board is of the opinion should be included within the boundaries of the district when changed. The order shall describe the entire boundaries of the district as they will be after the change thereof, and for that purpose the board may cause a survey to be made of such portions of such boundaries as is deemed necessary.
