Okla. Stat. tit. 82, § 82-1324.26: Enlargement of purposes and powers - Procedure

Any district created for one of the authorized purposes of this

act may enlarge its purposes and powers by following the procedure

set forth herein:

The board of directors of the district shall adopt a resolution

to enlarge the purposes and powers of the district and the

resolution shall specifically state such additional purposes and

powers. The district shall file a petition for enlargement of the

purposes and powers of the district with the county clerk and a

certified copy of the resolution for enlargement shall be attached

to the petition. The county clerk shall thereupon give notice to the

board of county commissioners of the filing of said petition and the

board of county commissioners shall forthwith enter its order

setting a public hearing upon said petition for a day certain and

directing the county clerk to give notice of said hearing by legal

publication in the manner described by Section 1324.5 of this title.

Such notice shall contain a brief and concise statement describing

the purpose of the hearing and the time and place set for the

hearing and consideration of the petition. It shall be the duty of

the board of county commissioners to determine:

1. whether proper notice of the hearing has been given; and

2. whether the enlargement of the purposes and powers of the

district is necessary to provide an adequate water supply, sewer

facilities, gas distribution facilities or solid waste management

system to serve rural residents of the district.

If, upon such consideration, it shall be found that the purposes

and powers of the district should be enlarged, the board of county

commissioners shall enter upon its records, full minutes of such

hearing, together with its order enlarging the purposes and powers

of the district. Such order shall also change the name of the

district to disclose the purposes of the district, and the name of

the district shall be indicated in the manner set forth in Section

1324.6 of this title.
