No more than ten (10) days after the hearing the county commissioners of each county affected by the consolidation are required to make an order regarding the consolidation of the library districts. I.C. § 33-2711 states: “Upon completion of the hearing, the board of county commissioners shall issue an order granting the petition.” In other words, the county commissioners do not have the right to stop the consolidation. The order shall certify the new boundaries and the name of the district.
Copies of the county commissioners’ order(s) granting the petition must be sent to each library board involved in the consolidation and to the Board of Library Commissioners.
The board of the consolidated library district is required to send a copy of the order(s) including a map prepared in a draftsmanlike manner to the boards of county commissioners, the county recorder, the county assessor of the home county, the Board of Library Commissioners, and the Idaho State Tax Commission. This must be done “in a timely manner,” but no later than December 15 in the year in which the consolidation takes place.
