Sec. 27-65. Public hearing on petition; court order. Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall set it for public hearing within 60 days after the date of the filing of the petition. The court shall give at least 45 days notice of the hearing by publishing notice of the hearing once in a newspaper having a general circulation within the special service area from which the territory is sought to be disconnected. The notice
(a)shall refer to the petition filed within the court,
(b)shall describe the territory proposed to be disconnected,
(c)shall indicate the prayer of the petition and the date, time and place at which the public hearing will be held, and
(d)shall further indicate that the corporate authority which created the special service area and any persons residing in or owning property in the territory involved or in the special service area from which the territory is sought to be disconnected shall have an opportunity to be heard on the prayer of the petition. Notice of the filing of the petition, the substance of which shall be as prescribed above for the published notice, shall also be mailed to the presiding officer of the corporate authority from which the territory is sought to be disconnected.
The public hearing may be continued from time to time by the court. After the public hearing and having heard all persons desiring to be heard, including the corporate authority and all persons residing in or owning property in the territory involved or in the special service area from which the territory is sought to be disconnected, if the court finds that all the allegations of the petition are true, the court shall grant the prayer of the petition and shall enter an order disconnecting the territory from the special service area.
The order shall be entered at length in the records of the court, and the clerk of the court shall file a certified copy of the order with the clerk of the municipality or county which created the special service area from which the territory has been disconnected. If the court finds that the allegations contained in the petition are not true, the court shall enter an order dismissing it.
