(a) Upon the approval of dissolution under this Article and the entry of the judgment of the circuit court, the board shall proceed with dissolution of the district in compliance with the judgment of the circuit court. (b) The board shall continue in existence for the sole purpose of winding up its affairs and for disposition of district property. Trustees whose terms expire shall continue to serve until the board dissolves. (c) Personal property of intrinsic value only to libraries may be donated to other public libraries. All other property, real or personal, shall be sold under Section 30-70; the proceeds shall be applied first to the debts of the district, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the county collector. Where a district lies in more than one county, the proceeds shall be equitably apportioned among the various counties affected, upon a ratio based upon the taxable property of the district within each county. The county collectors shall credit those amounts on their books as a payment on behalf of the taxpayers of the dissolved district toward any other taxes levied by the county involved, and the proceeds shall accrue to each county and shall abate the county tax levy for each county affected as to each taxpayer involved until the credit is used up or utilized and applied. (d) The board shall then meet, prepare and file its final report, enact a dissolution ordinance, and direct the filing of certified copies of the ordinance with the county clerk of each county affected and the Illinois State Librarian. The board shall then dissolve.
