7
    Sec. 10. Any territory lying adjacent and contiguous to a 
8
mosquito
abatement district, and not part of another mosquito 
9
abatement district,
may be annexed to such district in the 
10
following manner:

11
    (a) Upon petition in writing, describing the territory 
12
proposed to be
annexed and signed by a majority of the legal 
13
voters in such territory
and by the owners of more than half of 
14
the taxable property in such
territory as shown by the last 
15
ascertained equalized value of the
taxable property in such 
16
territory, being filed with the trustees of
such mosquito 
17
abatement district, such trustees may annex such territory
by a 
18
resolution which shall be published at least once in a 
19
newspaper
having a general circulation in the territory and 
20
shall include a notice
of (1) the specific number of voters 
21
required to sign a petition requesting
that the question of the 
22
adoption of the resolution be submitted to the
electors of the 
23
territory; (2) the time in which the petition must be filed;

24
and (3) the date of the prospective referendum.  The county 
25
clerk of the
county in which the territory is situated shall

resolution shall be effective
30 days from the date of

submitted to the legal
voters of such district at a regular 
2
election therein by certifying the
question to the proper 
3
election officials.  Notice of such election shall
be given and 
4
the election conducted in the manner provided by the general

5
election law.  The proposition shall be stated, "Shall the 
6
territory
(describing it) be annexed to The.... Mosquito 
7
Abatement District?" If the
majority of all the votes cast on 
8
the question is in favor of such
annexation, the board of 
9
trustees shall so certify to the county clerk, and
within ten 
10
days of such election the trustees by an order duly entered 
11
upon
their records shall annex such territory to the district 
12
and shall file a
map of the annexed territory in the office of 
13
the county clerk of the
county where the annexed territory is 
14
situated. Thereupon such territory
shall be deemed annexed to

and shall be a part of such mosquito abatement
district.

16
    (b) Whenever a mosquito abatement district contains over 
17
90% of territory of a specific city or village, the mosquito 
18
abatement district may annex additional adjacent and 
19
contiguous territory within that city or village, but not 
20
incorporated within a mosquito abatement district, by the 
21
passage of an ordinance to that effect. However, no territory 
22
may be annexed under this Section (i) more than one year after 
23
it has first been included in that city or village unless the 
24
territory so annexed is 50 acres or less or (ii) if the 
25
annexation would expand the mosquito abatement district's 
26
boundaries outside of a county unless the district already 
27
contains territory in that county.
28
    The ordinance shall describe the territory annexed and a 
29
certified copy thereof together with an accurate map of the 
30
annexed territory shall be filed in the offices of the county 
31
clerk and recorder of each county in which the annexation takes 
32
place.
