(4)  make, on its own motion, additional improvements or purchase additional property to accomplish the purposes of the district and to serve the best interest of the district.
(c)  The board shall enter its findings in the minutes.
(d)  The election shall be held and the returns made in the manner provided in this chapter for the original election.
