Upon the filing of the petition the board of county commissioners shall set a date for a hearing and direct the county clerk to publish a notice for three (3) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in the district, the last publication to be at least five (5) days before the day fixed for the hearing, which notice shall set forth the boundary of the area proposed to be added to the park district as set forth in the petition and stating that a hearing will be held by the board of county commissioners on the day and hour fixed by the board of county commissioners. At the hearing the board of county commissioners shall determine whether the description of the area is sufficient, whether a portion of the boundary of the proposed addition touches upon the existing boundary of the park district and whether the allegations of the petition are true and correct.
If the board of county commissioners finds the petition to be in due form, the area sufficiently described, and the allegations of the petition true and correct it may adopt a resolution setting forth its findings and adding the area to the park district, and thereupon the added area shall become a part of the park district. Thereafter all assessed tangible property within such newly added area shall be subject to all tax levies of the district for maintenance, operation and improvements and for bond and interest maturities on previous as well as future issues. A copy of the resolution shall be filed with the county clerk and a copy shall be filed with the county treasurer.
