(1)When the petition is filed with the commissioner, he shall investigate at once the
boundary of the district proposed to be organized, and may, at the cost of the
petitioners, cause to be made surveys necessary to establish with reasonable
accuracy a boundary that will, in his judgment, accomplish the purpose sought by
the creation of the district in a practicable and workable manner, and that will be
sufficiently comprehensive to avoid confusion or interference with any other similar
district then existing or that may be created. The boundary established by the
commissioner need not follow the boundary proposed by the petitioners, but if the
boundary established by the commissioner results in a material change from that
proposed in the original petition the petitioners shall secure, in case of a larger or
smaller area, the signatures of sixty percent (60%) of the freeholders or owners in
the area as established by the commissioner.
(2)None of the provisions of KRS 220.010 to 220.520 shall be applicable within the
corporate boundary of any city of the first class, nor shall they be binding upon such
city or any part thereof, or any land or property within the boundary of such city.
The governing body of any city of the first class shall determine by ordinance
whether city property lying outside the corporate boundary shall be included in any
sanitation district, and whether the city shall bind itself to pay the charges for the
services of the district furnished to such land or property.
(3)Should it be found desirable to include in a sanitation district all or a portion of a
city with a population equal to or greater than eight thousand (8,000) but less than
one hundred thousand (100,000) based upon the most recent federal decennial
census, the governing body of such city shall determine by ordinance whether the
city or portion thereof shall be included in the district, or whether the city shall bind
itself to pay the charges for the services of the district furnished in such area.
