Section 12.40.140 Disestablishment--Resolution of intention.

    The city may, at any time, pursuant to the provisions of Section 36550 of the Streets and Highways Code, disestablish the area created in this chapter. This procedure may be initiated by the council upon its own motion, or upon petition to the council for disestablishment, signed by more than fifty percent of the total assessment membership, assessed in the fiscal year in which the petition is filed; provided, that all signers to the petition shall have signed it within thirty days, but in this connection, the date that each signer shall have signed the petition shall be set opposite his/her name. The city council shall then compute the percentage of the signers, and if the total exceeds fifty percent of the total assessment membership, shall adopt and publish a resolution of the intention mentioned in Section 36550. Neither the initiation of the procedure by the council upon its own motion, or pursuant to the petition provided for in this section, shall limit the council's discretion with respect to the adoption or nonadoption of a disestablishment ordinance. (Ord. 459 § 33, 1991: Ord. 450 § 2 (part), 1990: prior code § 6A-13)
