(a) If the board by resolution approved by two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast determines that it is in the best interests of the public, the district members, and the district that such district be dissolved, and if the district then has no outstanding obligations under pledges of communications plant net revenue, long-term contracts, or contracts subject to annual appropriation, or will have no such debt or obligation upon completion of the plan of dissolution, it shall prepare a plan of dissolution and thereafter adopt a resolution directing that the question of such dissolution and the plan of dissolution be submitted to the voters of the district at a special meeting thereof duly warned for such purpose.

(1) identify and value all unencumbered assets;
(2) identify and value all encumbered assets;
(3) identify all creditors and the nature or amount of all liabilities and obligations;
(4) identify all obligations under long-term contracts and contracts subject to annual appropriation;
(5) specify the means by which assets of the district shall be liquidated and all liabilities and obligations paid and discharged, or adequate provision made for the satisfaction thereof;
(6) specify the means by which any assets remaining after discharge of all liabilities shall be liquidated if necessary; and
(7) specify that any assets remaining after payment of all liabilities shall be apportioned and distributed among the district members according to a formula based upon population.
