Any two or more extension districts may be consolidated to form a single extension district,
by resolution duly adopted by the extension council of each such extension district. Upon
adoption of such resolutions providing for such consolidation, the extension councils shall
do all things which may be necessary or convenient to carry into effect such consolidation.
The initial extension council for such new extension district shall consist of the members
of the extension councils of the consolidated extension districts. The extension council of
such new extension district shall promptly elect officers as provided in this chapter, and
upon such election the terms of the officers of the extension councils of the consolidated
extension districts shall terminate. The extension council of the new extension district shall
select a name for such district and shall file the name, together with copies of the resolution
providing for such consolidation, with the recorder of each county affected thereby. The
new extension district shall be regarded for all purposes as an extension district, the same as
if such extension district consisted of a single county, and its extension council and officers
thereof shall have all the powers and duties which now or hereafter may pertain to extension
councils and officers thereof. All assets and liabilities of the consolidated extension districts
shall become the assets and liabilities of the new extension district. The tax rate for the
“county agricultural extension education fund” shall be the same in each county included
in an extension district formed by consolidation. For the purposes of any law requiring
extension districts to file any document with or certify any information to any county officer
or board, an extension district formed by consolidation shall file or certify the same with
or to the appropriate officer or board of each county included in the extension district. An
extension district formed by consolidation may be dissolved and the original extension
districts as they existed prior to such consolidation may be reestablished, by resolution duly
adopted by the extension council of such extension district; and upon adoption of such
resolution, the extension council shall do all things which may be necessary or convenient to
carry into effect such dissolution and the reestablishment of the original extension districts.
