Annexation to subdistricts may be accomplished by any of the following procedures, as the board may elect:
(a)After the creation of a construction subdistrict under the provisions of KRS
76.241 to 76.246, the board may, if it deems it advisable, use the authority and
procedures granted to sanitation districts by KRS 220.535 to 220.537 to annex
territory to a subdistrict, the words "board of directors" being read as
"metropolitan sewer district board."
(b)Language in KRS 220.535 limiting the powers of annexation to a sanitation
district in a county not containing a city of the first class shall not be
applicable to a metropolitan sewer district which might use this method of
annexation to a construction subdistrict even if it is located in a county
containing a city of the first class, and the secretary of the Energy and
Environment Cabinet shall function in regard to annexation by it in the same
manner and under the same procedures, as set out in KRS 220.535 to 220.537,
as he would in his capacity as commissioner of sanitation districts for any
sanitation district.
(2)After the creation of a construction subdistrict under the provisions of KRS 76.241
to 76.246, the board may annex any area, contiguous or noncontiguous, subject to
the limitations of KRS 76.242, to the construction subdistrict by making a
preliminary order describing the area to be annexed and causing said order to be
published pursuant to KRS Chapter 424. The notice so published shall state that
objections in writing to the proposed annexation may be filed with the district
within thirty
(30)days of the date of said notice. The district shall examine and hear
all such complaints. It may modify or amend the areas proposed to be annexed; and
it shall make a final order, within sixty
(60)days of the date of publication of said
notice, describing the areas to be annexed and shall cause the same to be published,
pursuant to KRS Chapter 424. A freeholder of land within the area proposed to be
annexed may appeal such final order in the manner described in KRS 76.247. In
referring to KRS 76.247, this section is not intended to provide for de novo trial.
(3)In the event the owner or owners of all the property or properties proposed to be
annexed to a construction subdistrict shall tender to the district their written request
or requests that the district proceed immediately with the annexation of said
property or properties, and shall unqualifiedly waive all formalities and substantive
rights contained in subsection
(2)of this section, the district may thereupon make
and publish a final order annexing said property or properties to the construction
subdistrict. Said order shall contain a recitation of the receiving of waivers from the
owners of all properties to be annexed thereunder. Provided, however, that in all
such instances the written request or requests of the owner or owners of all
properties proposed to be annexed to a construction subdistrict shall be in
recordable form and shall be recorded in the office of the county clerk of the county
wherein the property is located; and said clerk is authorized to record such
instruments as in the case of mortgages and may charge and receive fees therefor as
in the case of mortgages.
(4)The provisions of subsections (1), (2), and
(3)of this section shall not repeal or
reduce any existing rights or duties of metropolitan sewer districts, but shall
constitute merely a procedure for annexation to construction subdistricts by a
metropolitan sewer district.
