176A.15 CONSOLIDATION OF EXTENSION DISTRICTS.
Any two or more extension districts may be consolidated to form a
single extension district, by resolution duly adopted by the
extension council of each such extension district. Upon adoption of
such resolutions providing for such consolidation, the extension
councils shall do all things which may be necessary or convenient to
carry into effect such consolidation. The initial extension council
for such new extension district shall consist of the members of the
extension councils of the consolidated extension districts. The
extension council of such new extension district shall promptly elect
officers as provided in this chapter, and upon such election the
terms of the officers of the extension councils of the consolidated
extension districts shall terminate. The extension council of the
new extension district shall select a name for such district and
shall file the name, together with copies of the resolution providing
for such consolidation, with the recorder of each county affected
thereby. The new extension district shall be regarded for all
purposes as an extension district, the same as if such extension
district consisted of a single county, and its extension council and
officers thereof shall have all the powers and duties which now or
hereafter may pertain to extension councils and officers thereof.
All assets and liabilities of the consolidated extension districts
shall become the assets and liabilities of the new extension
district. The tax rate for the "county agricultural extension
education fund" shall be the same in each county included in an
extension district formed by consolidation. For the purposes of any
law requiring extension districts to file any document with or
certify any information to any county officer or board, an extension
district formed by consolidation shall file or certify the same with
or to the appropriate officer or board of each county included in the
extension district. An extension district formed by consolidation
may be dissolved and the original extension districts as they existed
prior to such consolidation may be re-established, by resolution duly
adopted by the extension council of such extension district; and upon
adoption of such resolution, the extension council shall do all
things which may be necessary or convenient to carry into effect such
dissolution and the re-establishment of the original extension
districts. Section History: Early Form
