This bill introduces new provisions regarding the maintenance and potential vacating of streets and alleys in cities that have been dissolved. Specifically, it allows counties to maintain or vacate these streets and alleys if the dissolved city is located in an unorganized township. Additionally, if the dissolved city is situated within an organized township, that township is granted the same authority to maintain or vacate the streets and alleys. These provisions are established in new sections added to chapters 11-10 and 58-03 of the North Dakota Century Code.

Furthermore, the bill amends section 40-53.1-07 of the North Dakota Century Code, clarifying that when a city is dissolved, the board of county commissioners will take control of the city's property, with the exception of streets and alleys if an organized township opts to manage them. This amendment streamlines the responsibilities of the county in relation to the property of the dissolved city while ensuring that the management of streets and alleys is appropriately assigned based on the township's organization status.
