A city, or a resident or property owner in the territory or city involved may appeal a decision of the board or a committee, or the legality of an election, to the district court of a county which contains a portion of any city or territory involved.
Appeal must be filed within thirty days of the filing of a decision or the publication of notice of the result of an election.
Appeal of an approval of a petition or plan does not stay the election.

1. The part of subsection 2 which relates to where proceedings for judicial review shall be instituted.
