Sec. 9. Discontinuance.

(a) Whenever the Board of Trustees of any District shall
determine that there is no longer a public need for its transportation
services or that other adequate services are or can be made available,
and that it should terminate its existence and services, it may by
resolution so certify to the participating municipalities and counties

wind up its affairs. A copy of such ordinance or resolution or both,
shall be filed with the county or municipal clerk or clerks and the

obligations and claims, any funds remaining after the sale and
disposition of its property shall be disposed of by payment to the

by 2 or more municipalities or counties, by payment to the several
treasurers, first, to repay in whole or pro rata, funds advanced to the
authority, and the balance, if any, pro rata according to the length of
