92000. If the district operates no transit facilities, or its
exterior boundaries become coincident with the boundaries of a single
city, the board may call an election at any time for the purpose of
submitting to the voters of the district the question of whether the
district will be dissolved. Upon the filing with the secretary of
such a district of a petition signed by voters within the district
equal in number to at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the total
vote cast, asking that the question of dissolution of the district be
submitted to the voters of the district, the board shall call such
an election.

92001. The election for the purpose of submitting to the voters of
the district the question of whether or not the district shall be
dissolved shall be held within 60 days next succeeding the date on
which the petition is filed.

92002. Notice of any election for dissolution, whether called
because of the filing of a petition or ordered by the board without
petition, shall be published. The date fixed for the election shall
not be less than 30 days from the date of the first publication of
the notice.

instructions required to be printed on ballots for use at general

favor of the dissolution, the dissolution shall be deemed carried
and approved by the voters. The board shall meet on Monday next
succeeding the election and canvass the votes cast.

92006. Upon dissolution of any district which has boundaries that
are coincident with the corporate limits of a city, the district
property wherever situated vests absolutely in the city, and upon the

city the property of the district wherever situated vests in the
county in which the whole or greater portion of the district is
situated.

indebtedness of the district the legislative authority of the city,
where the limits of the district lie wholly within the corporate

the county in which the whole or greater portion of the district is
situated are ex officio the board of directors of the district for
the purpose only of the levy and collection of taxes for the payment
of the indebtedness of the district existing at the time of
dissolution and the interest thereon. The board or legislative
authority shall levy the taxes and perform such other acts as are
necessary to raise the money necessary for the payment of the
indebtedness and the interest thereon.

92008. In the event that the proposition for dissolution fails to
carry, no subsequent election for the dissolution of the district
shall be called until after the expiration of one year from the date
of the prior election.
