a) The corporate powers of the GHAD have not been used, there is a reasonable probability that those powers will not be used in the future, and the district holds no significant liquid assets; and
b) The board of directors, by resolution passed by unanimous vote of the directors approved the dissolution of the district; and
c) The district has not levied or collected any assessments and holds no significant liquid assets; and
d) The district has not substantially complied with a material condition of the resolution of formation adopted by the legislative body; and
WHEREAS, a proposal for dissolution must be made by Board Resolution, setting a public hearing and opportunity for protest; and
WHEREAS, California Public Resources Code Section 26567.1(b) provides that an order of dissolution shall not become effective unless, within 90 days after a valid resolution ordering dissolution, approval of the owners of more than 50 percent of the assessed valuation of the real property in the district is obtained; and

WHEREAS, the District did not obtain the required approval of the owners of more than 50 percent of the assessed valuation of the real property within the district within said 90-day period.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Directors of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District does RESOLVE as follows:
1. Failure of Dissolution: The Board of Directors hereby finds and determines that, pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 26567.1(b), the proposed dissolution of the San Leandro Hillside Geologic Hazard Abatement District failed due to the lack of approval by owners representing more than 50 percent of the assessed valuation of real property in the district within 90 days of the resolution ordering dissolution; and
2. Retention of District Status and Liabilities: Because the statutory requirements for dissolution under Public Resources Code Section 26567.1(b) were not satisfied, the GHAD remains an active entity, and all ongoing duties, responsibilities, liabilities, and obligations shall remain with the GHAD; and
3. Notice: City staff acting as authorized agents for the GHAD are directed to record or file this Resolution with the appropriate local and state entities as necessary to reflect the failed dissolution status.
