The director of said division shall thereupon execute and deliver to the state board a certificate declaring the area within the boundaries of such district to be a lawful conservation district under its name as shown in the records, and thereafter such district shall be a public body corporate and a political subdivision of the state of Colorado and shall have all the powers and duties imposed upon such districts under the provisions of this article.
