§ 6-19-18 — Dissolution of district

A district shall be dissolved in the following manner: A. there shall be submitted a petition for dissolution to the board of county commissioners signed by at least ten percent of the qualified electors residing within the district. Upon receipt of a proper petition, the board of county commissioners shall call a special election for the purpose of referring to the qualified electors residing in the district the question of dissolution and the board of trustees shall submit a plan for the dissolution of the district to the board of county commissioners for their approval; B. if the board of county commissioners finds that a majority of the qualified electors voting on the issue of the special election have authorized the dissolution, the board of trustees shall proceed with the approved plan. Upon completion of the plan, the board of trustees shall submit a full report to the board of county commissioners; and C. upon receipt of the final report of the board of trustees, the board of county commissioners shall examine the report to determine whether or not any outstanding obligations still exist and whether the terms of the approved plan have been accomplished. If, upon determination by the board of county commissioners, no obligations are yet outstanding and the provisions of the plan have been fulfilled, they shall formally declare the district dissolved.
