Chapter 198 - Special Districts Generally
Section 198.805 - Conduct of hearing; standards for formation; notice to nonappearing landowner; order for dissolution.

(a) Exclude from the proposed district land that, in the judgment of the board, could be benefited by inclusion in the proposed district; or
(b) Include in the proposed district land that, in the judgment of the board, could not be benefited by inclusion in the proposed district.
(2) If the county board determines that any land has been improperly omitted from the proposed district and that the owner has not appeared at the hearing, the board shall continue the hearing and shall order notice given to the nonappearing owner requiring the owner to appear before it and show cause, if any, why the land of the owner should not be included in the proposed district. The notice shall be given either by posting and publication, in the same manner as notice of the original hearing and for the same period, or by personal service on each nonappearing owner. If notice is given by personal service, service shall be made at least 10 days prior to the date fixed for the further hearing.
(3) If the county board finds that a proposed county service district may not be needed in the future or that indefinite existence may significantly discourage future boundary changes, it may require dissolution as provided in ORS 451.620. The order for such dissolution shall specify the fiscal year, not later than the 10th fiscal year after the date of the order, in which dissolution shall occur.
