A district may be dissolved in the following manner:
(1)Upon filing of a duly-certified petition of fifty-one percent (51%) of the number of
qualified voters who voted in the last general election in the district, the fiscal court
of each county in the district shall adopt a resolution to dissolve a library district.
(2)The petition shall be in substantially the following form: "The following qualified
voters in (insert name of county or counties) favor dissolving the (insert name of
district) Public Library District." It shall be presented to the fiscal court within
ninety
(90)days after having been signed by the first petitioner.
(3)A certified copy of the order of the fiscal court shall be filed with the county clerk.
(4)The county clerk or clerks in the district will thereupon remove the tax levy from
the tax bills of the property owners of the district and the district shall be dissolved.
(5)A petition for dissolution will not be considered of any legal effect if, at any time
prior to the filing of such a petition for dissolution, either:
(a)Contractual obligations have been assumed by pertinent contracting parties in
connection with said subject library, which contractual obligations would be
adversely affected by any such dissolution; or
(b)If, as of the time of filing of such a petition for dissolution, the board of such
district shall have arranged for the financing of a library in that district
pursuant to a plan of financing involving a lease of that library to the board
under which lease the board is not bound for more than one
(1)year at a time
without exercising an annual option to renew the lease and such lease remains
effective and has not been terminated; or
(c)If less than three
(3)years have passed since the certified copy of the order of
the fiscal court ordering the levy of the tax was filed with the county clerk.
(6)After all contractual obligations, existing prior to the time of the attempted filing of
such petition for dissolution, have been satisfied, then, at such time, a petition for
dissolution may be effectively filed under this section, provided that other
provisions of this section are complied with.
