§  980-o.  Dissolution.  (a)  Any  district  established  or  extended
pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  article,  where  there  is   no
indebtedness,  outstanding and unpaid, incurred to accomplish any of the
purposes of  the  district,  may  be  dissolved  by  local  law  by  the
legislative body upon its own motion or upon the written petition of (1)
the  owners  of at least fifty-one percent or more of the total assessed
valuation of all benefited real property included in the  boundaries  of
the  district  and  (2)  at  least  fifty-one  percent  of the owners of
benefited real property within the area included in  the  district.  The
legislative  body  shall request and consider the recommendations of the
district management association  concerning  any  proposed  dissolution;
provided  that  if  the association has not submitted recommendations to
the legislative body within  sixty  days  after  request  therefor,  the
legislative  body  may  adopt  any  such  proposed  dissolution  without
considering such recommendations.   In the  event  of  dissolution,  all
assets of the district shall revert to the municipality.

(b) A certified copy of the order of dissolution shall be filed with the state comptroller at Albany, New York.
