A. If any person in the district interested in the proposed change of the boundary of the district shows cause why the boundary should not be changed, and does not withdraw the objection, and if the board of directors deems it for the best interest of the district that the boundaries of the district be changed to include the lands described in the petition, or some part thereof, the board shall adopt a resolution to that effect. The resolution shall describe the exterior boundaries of the lands which in the opinion of the board should be included within the boundaries of the district when changed.
