12-1617c. Dissolution of certain inoperative sewer districts located
wholly within cities.
Whenever the county clerk shall petition the board of county
commissioners to disorganize and dissolve a sewer district located wholly
within a city in the county, and it shall appear from said petition that
said sewer district has no property of any kind, the district has no
officers or funds, has no outstanding indebtedness, has ceased to function
for more than one (1) year and will continue to be inoperative, the board
of county commissioners shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the
petition, designate a time and place for a hearing to consider the
dissolution of the district, and shall give notice thereof by one (1)
publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the city wherein the
district is located, said publication to be not less than ten (10) days
prior to the date set for the hearing.
On the date set for the hearing, the commissioners shall hear any
reasons why the district should not be dissolved. After the date of the
hearing, the commissioners are authorized to adopt a resolution providing
that the specified sewer district shall or shall not be disorganized and
dissolved. Upon the adoption of such a resolution, the commissioners shall
give notice thereof by publishing the resolution adopted once in a
newspaper of general circulation in the city wherein the sewer district is
to be dissolved. A certified copy of such resolution with proof of
publication shall be filed with the county clerk. The effective date of the
dissolution shall be the date of publication in the newspaper of general
circulation in the city, unless the board of county commissioners shall
specify a later date.
