Okla. Stat. tit. 62, § 62-447: District court - Application for order authorizing

Provided, however, that before any governing body of such city

or town shall make such transfer, application shall be made by such

governing body to the district court of the county for an order

authorizing it so to do. Such application shall be filed in the

office of the clerk of the district court as in other cases, setting

forth briefly, the amount of money in the sinking fund of said city

or town, and the amount of all its outstanding bonds, interest and

judgments, and the amount of the sinking fund that the governing

body wishes to transfer to the general fund of the said city or

town.

Notice of the hearing of said application shall be given by

publication of a notice thereof in a newspaper of general

circulation throughout the county, for two (2) consecutive weekly

issues of such newspaper. Upon the date fixed for the hearing of

said application, any taxpayer, bond, coupon or judgment holder may

appear and contest the same. After hearing, the court shall make an

order as to distribution of said surplus funds, if there be any, any

such order shall be final.
