§ 379.065. Provision of library services of county library district in contiguous territory served by another library district or library: Request; joint study; determination by board of county commissioners; alteration of boundaries

1. If the trustees of a county library district desire to provide library services

in territory which is contiguous to its boundaries but is within the boundaries of

another county library district, a consolidated library district or a county, city

or town which has a library, the trustees of the county library district may submit

a request to the trustees of such a library or library district to provide library

services within that territory. 2. If the trustees of a library or library district that receives a request pursuant

to subsection 1 desire that the library or library district receive such library services,

the trustees shall conduct a joint study with the county library district to determine

whether the county library district has the financial capability to provide the library

services. If the results of the study demonstrate that the county library district has such

financial capability, the county library district may alter its boundaries to include

the territory. 3. If: (a) The trustees of a library or library district that receives a request pursuant

to subsection 1 do not desire that the library or library district receive such library

services; or (b) The results of a study conducted pursuant to subsection 2 demonstrated that the

county library district did not have the financial capability to provide the library

services, the county library district may submit the matter to the board of county commissioners

of the county for its determination. The board of county commissioners may request such information from the county library

district and library or library district as necessary to make its determination. If the board of county commissioners determines it is in the best interest of the

residents of the territory to receive library services from the county library district,

the board of county commissioners shall by resolution authorize the county library

district to alter its boundaries to include the territory. In making such a determination, the board of county commissioners may solicit public

comment from residents who are affected by the proposed alteration of the boundaries

of the county library district through polling, public hearings, submission of an

advisory question at an election or any other form of public comment. 4. The provisions of this section do not apply to alter the boundaries of any library

or library district for the purposes of taxes levied for the repayment, when due,

of the principal of and interest on bonds, notes or other indebtedness issued before

the effective date of the alteration.
