When the county commissioners in the county where the petition arose have approved the addition of the territory to the library district, the county commissioners of the home county of the district are required to enter an order, including a map drawn in a draftsmanlike manner, amending the district’s boundaries and to send that order to the other county boards of commissioners that are affected, to the library district’s board of trustees, and to the Board of Library Commissioners.
The board of trustees of the library district is required to send a copy of the order to the county recorder, the county assessor of the home county, and the Idaho State Tax Commission “in a timely manner,” but no later than December 15 in the year that the order was granted.
