by such legislative body.

the district proposed to be changed, such amendment shall not become
effective except by the favorable vote of two-thirds (⅔) of
all the members of the legislative body of such municipality. The
provisions of Section 89.050, RSMo., relative to public hearing and
official notice shall apply equally to all changes or amendments.
