hold at least one public hearing, of which they shall give notice by publication,
in a newspaper of general circulation in the county, of at least one notice published
not less than 10 days before the date of the hearing. At this hearing, the board of county commissioners shall entertain applications for
the exclusion of lands, designated by sections or parts of sections as prescribed
in subsection 1, from the proposed district, if any such application is made. The board of county commissioners shall exclude any such lands as to which it is shown
to their satisfaction that any rodents which exist on that land do not render substantially
more difficult the control of rodents on other lands in the proposed district.
