Section 172-E. Change of name of fire district

The name of a fire district
  may be changed upon a resolution of the board of fire  commissioners  of
  such  fire  district after a public hearing thereon. Such public hearing
  shall be held prior to the first day  of  September  in  any  year.  The
  notice  of  such  hearing shall state the proposed new name and shall be
  published and posted, and such hearing shall  be  held,  in  the  manner
  provided  in this article for a hearing upon the establishment of a fire
  district upon petition. After such hearing and upon the  evidence  given
  thereat,  the  board of fire commissioners shall determine by resolution
  whether it be in the public interest to change the  name  of  such  fire
  district. If it be so determined, the board of fire commissioners, by an
  approving  vote  of not less than three-fifths of the voting strength of
  the board, shall adopt a resolution establishing the new  name  for  the
  fire  district  to  take  effect on the first day of January of the next
  fiscal year of the fire district. Within ten days after the  passage  of
  such resolution, the fire district secretary shall file a certified copy
  of  such  resolution (1) in the office of the town clerk of each town in
  which such district is situated, (2) in the office of the  county  clerk
  of  each county in which such district is situated, (3) in the office of
  the clerk of the board of supervisors  of  each  county  in  which  such
  district  is  situated, and (4) in the office of the state department of
  audit and control at Albany, New York.
