Sec. 375.025. HEARING. (a) At a hearing set under Section 375.023, the commission shall examine the petition to determine its sufficiency. Any interested person may appear before the commission in person or by attorney and offer testimony on the sufficiency of the petition and whether the district is feasible and necessary and would be a benefit to all or any part of the land proposed to be included in the district.
(b) The commission has jurisdiction to determine each issue relating to the sufficiency of the petition and to the creation of the district and may issue necessary incidental orders in relation to the issues before the commission. The commission may adjourn the hearing from day to day.
(c) If after the hearing the commission finds that the petition conforms to the requirements of Section 375.022(c) and that the district is feasible and necessary and would benefit the public, the commission by order shall make that finding and grant the petition. In determining if the project is feasible and necessary and would benefit the public, the commission shall consider:
(1) the availability of comparable services from other systems, including special districts, municipalities, and regional authorities; and
(2) the reasonableness of the proposed public purpose projects and services.
