(b)
The district board of directors shall hold a public hearing six months prior to the termination of its initial organization or last reauthorization to determine whether the conditions of Pierce’s disease, the glassy-winged sharpshooter or other pest or disease determined pursuant to Section 6293.4 warrant the reauthorization of the district for an additional five years. The notice of hearing shall state the name of the district and that consideration is being given to reauthorizing the district for up to an additional five years, the boundaries of the district, and the time and place for the hearing. Notice of the hearing shall be given as provided in Sections 6293.7 and 6293.8. The district board of directors shall submit the record of the hearing and its recommendation to the board of supervisors within 90 days of the hearing.
