or site is less than the fair market value of the property as determined by the
most recent township assessment, the board of managers shall approve the
submission of the proposition to the proper election officials before the
electors of the township may vote on the sale of the property.

settle all outstanding obligations against the community building and pay over
any moneys pertaining to the building remaining in their hands to the proper
authorities in accordance with the proposition and election.

their care and management, no new member of the board of managers shall be
elected nor shall any community building maintenance tax be levied and
collected in the township.
