§ 3.09.150. Modification or disestablishment.

The county, by ordinance, may modify the provisions of this chapter and may disestablish the district or parts of the district, after adopting a resolution of intention to such effect. Such resolution shall describe the proposed change or changes, or indicate that it is proposed to disestablish the area, and shall state the time and place of a hearing to be held by the board of supervisors to consider the proposed action. If the operators of lodging which pay fifty percent or more of the assessments in the district file a petition with the clerk of the board requesting the board of supervisors to adopt a resolution of intention to modify or disestablish the district, the board of supervisors shall adopt such resolution and act upon it as required by law. Signatures on such petition shall be those of a duly authorized representative of the operators of a lodging business in the district.

In the event the resolution proposes to modify any of the provisions of this chapter, including changes in the existing assessments or in the existing boundaries of the district, such proceedings shall terminate if protest is made by the operators of lodging businesses which pay fifty percent or more of the assessments in the district, or in the district as it is proposed to be enlarged.

In the event the resolution proposes disestablishment of the district, the board of supervisors shall disestablish the district; unless at such hearing, protest against disestablishment is made by the operators of lodging businesses paying fifty percent or more of the assessments in the district.

If at anytime a city that has given consent to the formation of the district decides to withdraw said consent, the county shall no longer operate the district within that city. Said withdrawal shall be in the form of a resolution of the city council of the withdrawing city. The levy shall terminate within the city's boundaries at the time of the next annual renewal. The district would be renewed as modified without the city that has withdrawn its consent.
