Following the hearing the governing body shall determine whether or not such lands or any portion of them should be detached. If it is determined that lands shall be detached this fact shall be entered in the official minutes of the sub-district, and certified copies of such entry recorded with the county clerk of each county in which any portion of such detached lands lie, and with the State Department of Agriculture.
