Attachment A
Step-by-step Summary of the Dissolution Proceedings:
Step One: Conduct the Public Hearing (November 17th)
1) At the public hearing, the Board will decide whether to move forward with dissolving the GHAD, based on timely property owner objections received. If more than 50 percent of the assessed valuation of real properties object to the dissolution of the GHAD, then the Board cannot move forward with dissolution. 2) If less than or equal to 50 percent of the assessed valuation of the real properties object to the dissolution, the Board can move forward to determine whether it can make a finding of at least one of the four factors listed below. If the Board can make a finding of one or more of the following, the dissolution of the GHAD can be ordered:
a) The district has not used its powers, likely will not in the future, and has no significant assets;
b) The board of directors unanimously agrees to dissolve it, or property owners holding over 50% of the property value approve the dissolution of the district; c) The district has not levied or collected any assessments and has no significant assets; or
d) The district has not met an important condition of its original formation.
Step Two: Obtain Property Owner Approval
If dissolution is approved by the Board at the public hearing, state law requires that the Board also obtain separate approval of the Resolution of Dissolution adopted on November 17 by the property owners.
Approval will be in the form of collected written approval statements. Property owners must submit written approval to the City Clerk within ninety (90) days of the public hearing date. If the received approval statements by the property owners weighted by assessed value of the real property, are more than 50 percent of the total assessed value of the 26 properties within GHAD, then the decision of the Board to dissolve the GHAD will be confirmed. Ninety (90) days from the hearing date is Sunday February 15, 2026.
