§ 738. More than three towns
When the portion to be separated from a district and combined with another district
consists of more than three towns, and the State Council has declared the move to
be effective, the Council shall appoint two supervisors for each of the new districts.
Where possible, these appointments shall be made from among the existing supervisors.
In each case, the two appointed supervisors will proceed to organize the new district
in the same manner in which a district is organized following a referendum. When
the governing body of each of the new districts has been organized, the supervisors
of both the old and the new districts shall apportion the assets, rights, and properties
of the divided district among the new districts. If the supervisors of the affected
districts cannot agree within 60 days from the date of election of the new supervisors,
the State Council will make the apportionment. In doing this, the Council shall conduct
hearings with the supervisors and others who may have an interest to assist them in
making a decision. Upon completion of the distribution of the assets of the old districts,
the old districts shall cease to exist and the supervisors thereof will no longer
serve as their governing bodies. (Amended 1959, No. 329 (Adj. Sess.), § 11(c), eff. March 1, 1961.)
