§ 14-40-1801. Proceedings generally.
Whenever any municipal corporation shall desire to throw any portion of the territory lying within its corporate limits outside of the limits and remit it back to the county in which the municipal corporation is situated, it shall be lawful for the council of the municipal corporation to submit the question to the qualified electors of the municipal corporation at an election to be held for that purpose. The election shall be held after giving notice of such election four (4) weeks by advertisement in one (1) of the papers published in the municipal corporation or, if there is no paper published in the municipal corporation by advertisement posted in two (2) of the most public places in the municipal corporation. If a majority of the votes cast on that question shall be in favor of throwing the territory outside of its municipal corporate limits, the municipal corporation shall present to the county court a petition praying for such change in its territorial limits, and the hearing shall be had on the petition as is prescribed in § 14-38-103. Alternatively, upon petition of the landowners affected and provided the territory is unimproved and uninhabited wetlands, the city council may resolve to request the county court to exclude the territory from the limits of the municipal corporation and remit it back to the county and a hearing shall be had on the petition as prescribed in § 14-38-103.
