The State Natural Resources Conservation Council, on petition from two or more districts, may combine several districts into a supervisory union after having determined that such a union is feasible, and in the best interests of the people in the district. The Council may hold hearings and receive testimony from landowners with lands lying within the bounds of the proposed supervisory union. If the Council determines that a union is administratively practicable, feasible, and in the public interest it shall so indicate in its minutes and proceed with the organization. (Added 1967, No. 303 (Adj. Sess.), § 17, eff. March 22, 1968.)
