Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
A petition to dissolve an
existing district created under this chapter may not be considered
at an annual meeting of the district unless an elector within the
district or a property owner within the district notifies the district
board of commissioners in writing at least 90 days before the annual meeting that the elector or property owner intends to petition
for dissolution at that annual meeting. The notice of the annual
meeting must include a statement that a petition to dissolve the
district will be considered. The district may be dissolved upon a
two-thirds vote of the electors and property owners present at the
annual meeting. The county board shall by order dissolve the district following receipt of the petition if the county board finds that
one or more of the standards for the creation of a district under s.
33.26 (3) are not met. The order for dissolution shall be conditioned upon proper petition to the circuit court and appointment
of a receiver to administer the winding up of the district under the
supervision of the court and a final order of the court. The attorney general shall represent the state and shall be a party to every
dissolution proceeding where state money is involved.
