Iowa Code Title IX. Local Government [Chs. 331-420] § 357A.6. Findings--order

1. After the hearing, the supervisors may strike off any part of the territory that testimony shows will not be benefited by the creation of the district. If the supervisors do not find that the district is reasonably necessary, they shall dismiss the petition.

2. If the supervisors find that required notice of the hearing has been given and that the proposed district is reasonably necessary for the public health, convenience, and comfort of the residents, or may be of benefit in providing fire protection, they shall make an order establishing the district as a political subdivision, designating its boundary, and identifying it by name or number. The order shall be published in the same newspaper which published the notice of hearing. The supervisors shall prepare and preserve a complete record of the hearing on the petition and their findings and action.
