When a majority of the board of trustees of a district desire that the district be wholly
dissolved, the trustees shall first propose a resolution declaring the advisability of the
dissolution and setting out the terms and conditions of the dissolution, and also setting out
the time and place when the board of trustees shall meet to consider the adoption of the
resolution. Notice of the time and place when the resolution shall be set for consideration
shall be published as provided in section 331.305, which publication shall contain the entire
wording of the proposed resolution. If any part of the district lies within the area of the
jurisdiction of a city, then the trustees shall mail a copy of the proposed resolution to the
city on the date of first publication of the resolution. At the hearing the owners of property
within the district, or a city if any part of the district lies within the city, may appear and
make objections to the proposed resolution. If the owners representing a majority of the
area of real estate within the district fail to sign and present to the board, on or prior to the
hearing date, a written petition opposing the resolution, a majority of the board of trustees
may pass the resolution and adopt the proposed dissolution. However, the resolution shall
not be adopted if the district is obligated on any outstanding bonds, warrants, or other debts
or obligations unless the holders of the bonds, warrants, or other debts or obligations all
sign written consents to the dissolution prior to the adoption of the resolution of dissolution.
If the petition opposing the resolution is signed by property owners representing a majority

of trustees has adopted the resolution of dissolution, the clerk of the district shall prepare
and file a certified copy of the resolution of dissolution in the office of the county auditor
where the original petition was filed. A district shall dissolve within ninety days following
the merger of a district with a city.
