14 the taxable property in such territory as shown by the last
15 ascertained equalized value of the taxable property in such

1 submitted to the legal voters of such district at a regular
2 election therein by certifying the question to the proper
3 election officials. Notice of such election shall be given and
4 the election conducted in the manner provided by the general
5 election law. The proposition shall be stated, "Shall the
6 territory (describing it) be annexed to The.... Mosquito
7 Abatement District?" If the majority of all the votes cast on
8 the question is in favor of such annexation, the board of
9 trustees shall so certify to the county clerk, and within ten
10 days of such election the trustees by an order duly entered
11 upon their records shall annex such territory to the district
12 and shall file a map of the annexed territory in the office of

16     (b) Whenever a mosquito abatement district contains over
17 90% of territory of a specific city or village, the mosquito
18 abatement district may annex additional adjacent and
19 contiguous territory within that city or village, but not
20 incorporated within a mosquito abatement district, by the
21 passage of an ordinance to that effect. However, no territory
22 may be annexed under this Section (i) more than one year after
23 it has first been included in that city or village unless the
24 territory so annexed is 50 acres or less or (ii) if the
25 annexation would expand the mosquito abatement district's
26 boundaries outside of a county unless the district already
27 contains territory in that county.
28     The ordinance shall describe the territory annexed and a
29 certified copy thereof together with an accurate map of the
30 annexed territory shall be filed in the offices of the county
31 clerk and recorder of each county in which the annexation takes
32 place.
