. Any district which has been included in a consolidated
district may withdraw from the consolidated district and be
reconstituted as a separate district by filing with the board of
directors of the consolidated district a petition for withdrawal
which is signed by the owners of not less than 51 percent by area of
citrus land in the district. The board of directors of the
consolidated district shall send the original petition to the board
of supervisors of the county in which the withdrawing district is
located, and a copy of the petition to the board of supervisors of
each of the other counties in which is located any part of the
consolidated district. Upon receipt of a petition for withdrawal, the
board of supervisors of the county in which the withdrawing district
is located shall fix a time and place for hearing the petition.
Notice shall be given and the hearing conducted in the same manner
and with the same effect as prescribed for the formation of a
district under Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 8451). Upon
withdrawal of a district, all moneys collected from the district for
the use of the consolidated district, and all property purchased with
these moneys, shall remain the property of the consolidated
district. All moneys collected from a district after it withdraws
from a consolidated district shall be held for the use of the
district.
