Sec. 26b.8.
Detachment of lands from a sub-district.
The owner or owners of lands which have not been, are not and cannot be
benefited by their inclusion in the sub-district may petition the governing
body of the sub-district to have such land detached. The petition shall
describe such lands and pray the governing body to hear the causes why such
lands should be detached. Within 30 days after the receipt of such petition
the governing body shall conduct a hearing, having first notified the
petitioners by mail at least ten days in advance and by causing such notice
to be published at least once in one or more newspapers having general
circulation within the sub-district. Following the hearing the governing
body shall determine whether or not such lands or any portion of them
should be detached. If it is determined that lands shall be detached this
fact shall be entered in the official minutes of the sub-district, and
certified copies of such entry recorded with the county clerk of each
county in which any portion of such detached lands lie, and with the State
Department of Agriculture.
