In addition to any other method of initiating proceedings to withdraw territory from a district, the county board may, after appropriate proceedings, order the withdrawal of forestland from a district if:
(1) Written request for the withdrawal is submitted to the county board by the district board;
(2) Inclusion of the withdrawn forestland within a forest protection district under ORS 477.205 to 477.281 is agreed to by the State Forester;
(3) A public hearing for the landowners concerned is held regarding the withdrawal by the county board; and
(4) Any lands so withdrawn and transferred to a forest protection district for purposes of fire protection shall be assessed for this purpose under ORS chapter 477 and, except as provided by ORS 198.880, shall no longer be assessed for fire protection by the rural fire protection district.
