12-1617d. Dissolution of certain inoperative cemetery districts
located wholly within cities.
Whenever the county clerk shall petition the board of county
commissioners to disorganize and dissolve a cemetery district located
wholly within a city in the county, and it shall appear from said petition
that said cemetery 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 cemetery 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 cemetery 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.
