§ 101662 Authority Dissolution Process

This law lets the board of trustees decide to shut down an authority and tells them how to handle its money, property, and debts, while saying the county doesn’t have to take any of those on unless there’s a written deal.

Key Takeaways

  • •The board of trustees can decide the authority should stop existing.
  • •They must take care of the authority’s assets, debts, and other obligations.
  • •The county does not have to assume any of the authority’s responsibilities unless there is a written agreement.

Example

A local park authority is no longer needed, so the board votes to close it, sells the park equipment, and pays off any loans the authority had.

The board can end the park authority, sell its stuff, pay what it owes, and the county isn’t forced to take over the park or its debts unless they sign a contract. Once the board tells the supervisors what happened, the supervisors cancel the law that created the park authority and it officially ends.
