(1) The county board of any county or the city council of the city of New York which, by resolution, has declared the county or the city of New York to be a soil and water conservation district, may at any time after five years from the passage of said resolution, and after determining that a substantial proportion of the rural land occupiers of the district so desire, repeal said resolution at a regular or special meeting of said board or council, providing written notice of intended action on such resolution, together with the basis for action, is provided by the county board or city council to the state soil and water conservation committee at least thirty days before action is taken on such resolution. This determination may be made through hearings, petitions or referenda.

(2) Upon the repeal of the resolution which declared the county or the city of New York to be a soil and water conservation district, the directors may not enter into any more contracts or agreements on behalf of the district, and all rules and regulations theretofore adopted and in force within such district shall be of no further force and effect. Such district, however, shall continue for the purpose of fulfilling its contracts, discharging any existing obligations, collecting and distributing its assets and doing all other acts required to adjust and wind up its affairs.
