15-11b11. Attachment of territory outside county; petition; order; notice; tax levies. Whenever a community building district has been organized within any county as authorized by K.S.A. 15-11b01 to 15-11b10, and amendments thereto, territory adjacent thereto but located in another county may be attached to such district as hereinafter provided.

Upon presentation to the board of directors of the community building district of a petition setting forth the boundaries of the area petitioned to be attached to the district and signed by not less than 51% of the qualified electors of the area, as determined by an enumeration taken and verified for this purpose by the county election officer of the county in which the area proposed to be attached is located, it shall be the duty of the board of directors of the community building district, at its next annual meeting, to examine the petition and if it finds the same to be in order and further finds it to the best interest of the district to attach such territory located outside the county, it shall issue an order attaching such territory to the district and shall give notice thereof to the county clerk of the county wherein the territory petitioned to be attached is located.

Such attached territory shall thereafter be subject to the tax levied by the district, and all residents within the attached territory shall thereafter be eligible to attend and to vote at all annual meetings, and the district including the attached territory shall thereafter be governed insofar as practicable by the provisions of K.S.A. 15-11b01 to 15-11b10, and acts amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, except as hereinafter provided.
