The Florida Senate

Within 60 days after a petition has been filed with the supervisors of the soil and water conservation district, the supervisors shall cause due notice to be given of a public hearing upon the practicability and feasibility of creating the proposed watershed improvement district. All owners of land within the proposed district and all other interested parties shall have the right to attend such a hearing and to be heard. If the supervisors determine from the hearing that there is need, in the interest of public health, safety, and welfare, for the organization of the proposed district, they shall record such determination and shall define the boundaries of the watershed improvement district.
