This bill proposes the creation of new sections in the North Dakota Century Code regarding the maintenance and vacating of streets and alleys in dissolved cities, as well as the care of property in such cities. Specifically, it allows counties to maintain or vacate streets and alleys in dissolved cities located in unorganized townships. Additionally, it amends section 40-53.1-07 to clarify that the board of county commissioners will assume control of property belonging to a dissolved city, except for streets and alleys if an organized township opts to maintain or vacate them.

Furthermore, the bill establishes that if a dissolved city is situated in an organized township, that township may also choose to maintain or vacate the streets and alleys. This legislative change aims to provide clearer guidelines for the management of properties and infrastructure in cities that have been dissolved, ensuring that responsibilities are appropriately assigned to either the county or the township based on the organization status of the area.
