103B.581 TERMINATION.
    Subdivision 1. Petition. Termination of a district may be initiated by petition requesting the
termination of the district. The petition must be signed by a majority of the property owners in a
district within 30 days after receiving a petition. The county board or joint county authority must
set a time and place for a hearing on terminating the district.
    Subd. 2. Findings and order. If the board or joint county authority determines that the
existence of the district is no longer in the public welfare or public interest and it is not needed
to accomplish the purpose of the Lake Improvement District Law, the board or joint county
authority shall make the findings and terminate the district by order. On filing a certified copy of
the findings and order with the secretary of state, Pollution Control Agency, and commissioner of
natural resources the district is terminated and ceases to be a political subdivision of the state.
    Subd. 3. Termination of financing. If a district is terminated under subdivision 2, additional
water and related land resource management programs may not be undertaken with money
raised by a special tax within the district, and additional special water and related land resource
management taxes may not be levied within the district. If money raised by past special tax levies
within the district has been exhausted, further operation and maintenance of existing programs
may be financed by appropriations from the general revenue fund of an affected county.
