A city, town, or village district may adopt the provisions of this chapter in the following manner: I.

II. In a city or a town that has adopted a charter pursuant to RSA 49-C or RSA 49-D, the legislative body may consider and act upon the question in accordance with its normal procedures for passage of resolutions, ordinances, and other legislation. In the alternative, the legislative body of any such municipality may vote to place the question on the official ballot for any regular municipal election. III. In a village district, the question may be considered and acted upon by any means authorized by RSA 52. IV. The language of the question shall designate the district, which may cover all or a portion of the area within the municipality, or may designate all or a portion of the area within the municipality as part of a district that encompasses all or portions of multiple municipalities. V. A municipality may vote to rescind its action in the same manner as it may vote to adopt, provided that all agreements entered into with property owners and related legal obligations created prior to its vote to rescind shall remain in effect.
