(1) Within 60 days of receipt of the preliminary plans and other documents submitted as required by ORS 222.897, the appropriate reviewing authority shall determine whether the conditions dangerous to public health within the territory proposed to be annexed can be removed or alleviated by the sanitary, water or other facilities proposed by the plans and specifications.

(3) If the authority considers the proposed facilities or time schedule inadequate, it shall disapprove the proposal and certify its disapproval to the city including the particular matters causing the disapproval. The city council shall then submit an additional or revised proposal.
