Bill > SB2329

This bill addresses the management and maintenance of property and infrastructure in dissolved cities in North Dakota. Specifically, the bill provides new guidelines for what happens to streets, alleys, and city property when a city is dissolved. If a dissolved city is located in an unorganized township, the county will have the authority to decide whether to maintain or vacate the streets and alleys. Similarly, if the dissolved city is in an organized township, that township can choose to maintain or vacate the streets and alleys. For city property, the board of county commissioners will assume control and either manage the property through a hired professional or dispose of it according to existing county regulations. The hired property manager must execute a bond to ensure faithful performance of duties and prompt payment of collected funds to the county treasurer. These changes provide clearer procedures for local governments when a city is dissolved, ensuring proper management of municipal assets and infrastructure.
