§  258.  Application  to  the  department  of  audit and control.   1.   Whenever a resolution approving the establishment of a  county  district   shall  have  become  effective,  and it is proposed or required that the   county in which such district is located shall finance the cost  thereof   by  the issuance of the bonds, notes, certificates or other evidences of   indebtedness of the county therefor, or  shall  assume  the  payment  of   annual installments of debt service on obligations issued to finance the   cost  of  facilities,  pursuant to section two hundred sixty-two of this   article, and, if the  state  comptroller  shall  have  computed  average   estimated costs for similar types of districts, the cost of the proposed   district or extension to the typical property or, if different, the cost   of  the  proposed  district  or  extension  to the typical one or or two   family home as stated in the notice of  hearing  is  above  the  average   estimated  cost to the typical properties or homes for the establishment   or extension of similar types of districts as may be  annually  computed   by  the  state  comptroller, the clerk of the board of supervisors shall   file an application in the office of the department of audit and control   for permission  to  establish  the  district.    The  state  comptroller   annually shall provide to counties notice of the average cost thresholds   as  may  be  computed in accordance with this section.  Such application   shall be  executed  and  verified  by  the  chairman  of  the  board  of   supervisors  or  such other officer as the board may designate and be in   such form and contain such information as may be prescribed by the state   comptroller.   The state  comptroller  may  require  the  submission  of   additional  information or data in such form and detail as he shall deem   sufficient, or may cause an investigation to  be  made  to  aid  him  in   making  the  determinations  below  mentioned. Upon such application and   such other information, data and material which may  be  submitted,  the   state  comptroller  shall  determine whether the public interest will be   served by the establishment of the district and also  whether  the  cost   thereof  will  be  an  undue  burden  upon  the property of the proposed   district. If such resolution shall have provided for  the  establishment   of zones of assessment and the allocation of the costs of the facilities   as between such zones of assessment, the state comptroller shall further   determine  whether  the cost of the facilities allocated to each of said   zones of assessment will be an undue burden upon the  property  of  each   proposed zone of assessment.2.   Upon  completion  of  the  examination  of  the  application  and   investigation of the project, the state comptroller shall make an order,   in duplicate, granting or denying permission for  the  establishment  of   the  district and shall file one copy of such order in the office of the   state department of audit and control at Albany, New York, and the other   in the office of the clerk of the board of supervisors of the county  in   which  the  proposed  district  is  located.  The  clerk of the board of   supervisors shall present such order to the board at  the  next  meeting   thereof.  If  the  state  comptroller  shall  deny  permission  for  the   establishment of the district, no further proceedings shall be taken  in   the  matter.  If  the  state  comptroller shall grant permission for the   establishment of the district or if such permission is not required, the   board of supervisors may adopt an order establishing the district.
