The State must submit a copy of any legal authority causing the dissolution. For example:
-
•
A copy of a city ordinance;
-
•
A copy of an authorized official’s order which effectuated the dissolution; or
-
•
A copy of the results of an election authorizing the dissolution.
If a legislative body authorized the dissolution, the State must submit proof that
it carried out the legislative authorization, such as a reference to the legislative
authorization or a copy of the legislation.
If the legislative authorization did not itself dissolve the entity, the State must
submit a copy of the administrative or other order that dissolved the entity. If the
official of the State or political subdivision, with whom the State files orders of
dissolution, executed a statement of the fact of dissolution, the statement is acceptable
as evidence of dissolution.
