40:68-50. Dissolution of district; debts and obligations; property; resolution as evidence
The governing body of the township which has created a beach erosion district pursuant to this act by resolution dissolves such district if either (1) such district has no debts or obligations outstanding, or (2) all creditors or other obligees of the district have consented to said resolution. In the event that there are debts wherein the township has passed a resolution dissolving a beach erosion district, the township is permitted to assume and pay the debts and obligations of the district. A copy of said resolution, certified by the clerk of the township, shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of State and the office of the Division of Local Government and the Department of the Treasury. Upon proof of such filing and upon proof either that said beach erosion district had no debts or obligations outstanding at the time of the adoption of such resolution or that all creditors or other obligees of the beach erosion district have consented to such resolution, the beach erosion district shall be conclusively deemed to have been lawfully and properly dissolved. Therefore, all right, title and interest in and to the property of the beach erosion district shall be vested in the township, except that any particular property shall vest in any other governmental unit or person if the terms of any lease or any other agreement of the beach erosion district with respect thereto shall so provide. A copy of any such certified resolution, duly certified by or on behalf of the Secretary of State shall be admissible in evidence and in action or proceeding it shall be conclusive evidence of due and proper adoption and filing thereof as aforesaid.
