[Adopted 10-9-2007 by Ord. No. 35-07]
A.
Any authority delineated in § 5-203.01 of the
Administrative Code of Allegheny County or created wholly by Allegheny County
under the terms of the Municipality Authorities Act, 53 P.S. § 5601
et seq., shall be dissolved upon the enactment of a County ordinance containing
the following elements:
(1)
Explicit language accomplishing the dissolution of a
specific, named authority created wholly by Allegheny County under the terms
of the Municipality Authorities Act; and
(2)
Specific delineation of the activity or activities of
the authority to be assumed by the County; and
(3)
Delegation of the assumed function(s) to one or more
specific agencies or other entities within the County government; and
(4)
Delineation of the revenues of the dissolved authority
to be assumed by the County, and a description of the fund into which they
will be deposited.
B.
The provisions of this section shall not be construed
to authorize the dissolution of any authority where such dissolution would
violate the express terms of an in-force contract, but the enactment of a
dissolution ordinance under the terms of this section shall be deemed to both:
(1)
Preclude the extension, renewal, or any other lengthening
of the term of an in-force contract subsequent to the date of enactment of
the dissolution ordinance; and
(2)
Automatically dissolve the named authority at the conclusion
of the term of the in-force contract that was running at the time at which
the ordinance was enacted, without further action by the County.
Any authority created by Allegheny County in conjunction with one or more other municipalities under the provisions of the Municipality Authorities Act, 53 P.S. § 5601 et seq., shall be dissolved upon the enactment of ordinances containing and subject to the elements required in § 210-19A through E by every municipality that passed legislative enactments to create the authority.
Dissolution of any authority created in whole or in part by Allegheny
County under the terms of enabling legislation enacted by the Pennsylvania
General Assembly shall be accomplished according to any procedures delineated
within such enabling legislation. In the event that no such dissolution procedures
are contained within the applicable enabling legislation, the County shall
express its desire to dissolve an authority by enactment of a resolution conveyed
to the General Assembly and Governor.
