An ordinance, for the purposes of this part, includes a resolution of a county not having the power to enact ordinances.
     (2) The authorizing ordinance may be passed by the governing body of the jurisdiction or it may be initiated by a petition signed by 15% of the resident property taxpayers of the area proposed for the district in each jurisdiction.
     (3) Prior to determining the boundary of the district, the governing body or persons preparing a petition shall consult with the county election administrator to prepare a description of the boundary of the proposed district. As far as practical, the boundary shall follow precinct, school district, municipal, and county lines. The boundary description must be mapped and clearly described.
