Any city whose corporate area is a part of the district and any county with regard to any unincorporated territory which is a part of the district, may apply to the board of directors of the district for consent to exclude the area from the district. The board of directors may grant or deny the application and in granting the same may fix the terms and conditions upon which a corporate area of the city or the unincorporated county territory may be excluded from the district. The terms and conditions shall include, without limitation, exclusion of the city or unincorporated county territory, as the case may be, from representation on the board or in an advisory capacity to the board.
The action of the board of directors evidenced by resolution shall be promptly transmitted to the governing body of the applying city or board of supervisors and if the action shall grant consent to the exclusion the governing body of the city or the board or supervisors of the county, as the case may be, may submit to the electors of the city or the unincorporated county territory at any general or special election the proposition of excluding from the district the corporate area of the city or the unincorporated county territory.
Notice of the election shall be given in the manner provided in Section 31402. The election shall be conducted and the returns thereof canvassed in the manner provided by law for the conduct of elections in the city or county. In the event that the majority of the electors voting thereon vote in the favor of the withdrawal, the result thereof shall be certified by the governing body of the city or the board of supervisors of the county to the board of directors of the district.
A certificate of the proceedings hereunder shall be made by the secretary of the district and filed with the Secretary of State, and upon the filing of the certificate the corporate area of the city or the unincorporated county territory shall be excluded from the district, and shall no longer be a part thereof; provided, however, that the property within the city as the city shall exist at the time of the exclusion, or within the unincorporated county territory shall continue taxable pursuant to Section 30981.
Upon the filing in his or her office of the certificate of proceedings the Secretary of State shall, within 10 days, issue a certificate, reciting the filing of the papers in his or her office and the exclusion of the corporate area of the city or the unincorporated county territory from the district. The Secretary of State shall transmit the original of his or her certificate to the secretary of the district and shall forward a certified copy thereof to the county elections official of each county in which the district or any portion thereof is situated.
