Chapter 12. Dissolution of California Streets And Highways Code >> Division 9. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 12.
Whenever it shall deem it advisable, the commission shall, by
resolution, order that an election be held in the district upon the
question of dissolution of the district. The election shall be called
and conducted in the same manner as other elections of the district,
and if at the election, two-thirds, or more, of the votes cast are
in favor of the dissolution, the district shall be dissolved.
Upon dissolution of a district containing a single city, any
property which may have been acquired by the district shall vest in
the city, except projects theretofore transferred and conveyed to the
county under the provisions of Chapter 11 of this part.
Upon dissolution of a district containing two or more cities,
undisposed of property shall be distributed by the commission to the
cities by a formula based on the assessed valuation of property
contained in the cities as shown on the last equalized assessment
roll of the county.
If at the time of the election to dissolve the district there
is outstanding any bonded indebtedness of the district, the vote to
dissolve shall dissolve the district for all purposes except the levy
and collection of taxes for the payment of that outstanding
indebtedness. From the time of dissolution until the bonded
indebtedness, together with interest thereon, is fully paid, the
board shall constitute ex officio the commission and shall levy such
taxes and perform such other acts as may be necessary to raise the
money for the payment of the outstanding indebtedness of the
district.
